I just want to get the creative juices flowing for my mini cooper S.

Any pictures of your R56 with rally headlights (size and number doesn't matter) Also if you could, include the brand!

Thank you ahead of time!

I should get my MINI 15days ago....because of the rally lamp...

 

so did most of you guys get your lights installed at the dealership? or did you do it aftermarket? and how much would it cost to do aftermarket?

Thanks!

 

Not a 2ndGen, but here ya go:

4 Hella FF200
The Hella box indicates "For MINI Cooper (Not Cooper S)" I laugh in their general direction!

 

I did it when I order the car....if you do it aftermark.it depends what kind of lamp you choose.

 

vampyrdavid - if there's ever a blackout at the local airport, they'll know who to call!

 

are the rally lights for good looks mostly or they help you see better. Where can you use them. are there any traffic rules how/where to use them. Just a bit confused why so many members pay close to 1K to have these installed.

 

Different states have different laws. But most states will not allow you to have more than four (4) lights on the front end LIT at the same time, while on road.

Yah. I got them for 2am to 3am Dragon runs. Too many LEOs out & about for a midnight run w/illegal lighting. They are also very nice to use on the Foothills Parkway (near the Dragon). They have definitely saved my butt more than once spotting large animals crossing the road. Friends refer to the lights as "Portable Daylight".

Very true. No more than 4 lights burning on the front of the vehicle in most states. Then again, you shouldn't have hi-beams on if there are cars in front of you anyway. If you see mine on, then I'm not paying attention, which is rare.

 

Wow! That looks great!

 

Thanks!

 

Wow Donna/Mike, a Morris Minor Traveller and an MGA! I've owned both in my time....Ah, memories....

 

Here are mine with my car stickered up for the NER Spring run...



EDIT: To answer Booyun's questions, i did the OEM lights myself with a friend and once you get started its much easier then the directions make them seem(with alittle help from djam43!!!)

 

Yeah - we love those old British oil leaking classics....LOL!!! We actually have 2 Travellers - the other one is Snowberry White - she is more of the show car - 22K original miles. Good thing Mike knows how to work on them all...hehehehe

Those all look good, folks. Rally lights are on my list to get eventually, I have other things that will come first.

Lets see some nightshots!!

 

I just installed these a few days ago so this is a good chance to share. These are the OEM lights with the grill from the JCW Aero kit for the MC. The job was pretty straightforward provided the right tools using instructions posted on Motoringfile. I must say its much more enjoyable to work on a new car than one with 100-200K+ miles on the clock, and it gives me an appreciation for how well MINIs are actually built.

Now, on to the next mod!

 

After this weekend It won't rain ALL the time in Deal's Gap.

 

 

O SNAP!

now thats an eye catcher mase! danggg

NIGHTSHOT! please and thank you

 

AWESOME Mase! Great pic.

 

Ours is OEM and boy do they turn night into day when coupled with the bi-xenons.

 

Love ur MCS. Looks like mine minus the Aero Kit and the driving lights. But I'm working on the lights.

I was wondering if any one knows if an after market HID kit work with the driving lights?
