Hi all,

Searched around a bit, but could not find any pictures of the base cooper without foglights...are there just two holes if you don't have them?

If anyone could point me to some pictures (preferably white) that have no foglights I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

 

anybody?

 

 

What i have heard is that there are just little plastic pop outs in place of the fog lights, as i used to wonder this also. You should just get the front and fear fogs so your mini doesnt look unfinished and your toggles will be full.

 

yeah i wish i had the rear fog so that one last spot had a switch..and i like the look of the euro rear fog lights..

 

Thanks for the replies guys...For some reason that mini looks like it has foglights to me lol

So you can actually turn on the rear foglights as well? I thought it was just a reflector, and not worth the $100 heh

 

Its a light, not a reflector. Its a proper high intensity rear fog light.

 

I actually did not like the look of the rear fog lights and prefer the black inserts. But apparently I am very much alone with that thought here on NAM.

 

We just took delivery of our MC Saturday, then spent two days and 400 miles on vacation in the mountains of NC, two vehicles. We got the rear fog lamp to "fill the hole" and make it look better, but while I was following the MINI in the rain, and the rear fog lamp was on, it was rather obnoxious IMO. It is bright and visible as intended, but it is about the same intensity as brake lights when they are on, and this one is always that brightness, and with the rain and reflections and all, I just wanted my son to turn it off.
Again, IMO, it looks better when parked, it fills the toggle switch spot, but I don't care for it for it's intended use as an extra clearance light. If the fog is that bad, stay off the road.

 

Yes you are

 

Well then, would you mind waiting 'til mine gets here? I ordered a PW/PW MC and I've been hitting myself on the head eversince I've forgotten to add the foglights. By the time I realized it, it was already too late to have it installed! *sigh*

It won't get here 'til next week I think... it's still on the Asian Chorus arriving at the VDC in 2 days.

 

Nope. I checked thisout with my dealer. He had two MC's next to each other one w/fogs and one w/o. The look is almost the same with or without fogs.

 

No you are not

 

I wish I opted for the front fogs for $250. They want $700 to put them in now. Forget it!

 

Well.. I've been trying to see if we have any local shops that sells and installs them.. so far I found one guy but he hasn't told me yet how much it'll cost.

 

If it were me and I didn't have a rear fog, I'd get the $35-$40 kit (which includes wiring and the entire light unit) to turn the rear fog into a brake light. You may not get a toggle, but if the blank panel bothers you this is a very cost effective, and truly useful, solution. Now...if I only remembered which vendor offers it.

 

GoMiniGo?

 

$35 to make functional. I'll be doing it soon

Well here ya go. It kinda looked the same to me as well. My brother thought they did install it.

During the day:


At night:


And with the lights on:

 

If you get caught out in the fog on a road trip the rear fog will help you not get run over by trucks and SUVs. It is not intended to be used in other conditions (i.e. rain or shine). In fact, in Europe you can be fined for using your fog lamps when it's not foggy. I think following a rear fog in the rain would be like following a reflective sign at night with you high beams on.

 

Until you turn them on!

 

I was wondering why I sometimes see the rear fog light in red and sometimes it's white. This is on a "justacooper"

 

Unless there's a white lens option, I thought the white version was the reversing light for cars without the rear fogs.

 

You must be thinking of the turn signals lenses which do have a clear option if you want it. The rear fog is always red.
