Hi all,

My MCSa is in production and want to know about fog lights / city lights bulb change. Looking for yellow fogs (2500K) color for the fogs and amber for the city lights. Any recomendations on bulbs and most important... do I have to pull the bumper or is there an access panel? Thanks in advance! Future Mini driver.

 

Key thing on bulbs is making sure the wattage rating is the same; NEVER increase such as the current increase may result in wiring insulation melting due to heat.
Otherwise, choice is up to you on brand, color, etc.

No, you do NOT need to pull the fascia cover to change bulbs; find the circle access panel in the wheel well to gain access to the fog / parking light.

Oh yeah... +1 on the ambers:

Sweet... thanks bluefox! H8's for the fogs, what bulb for the city lights? Are they 195 5w5's like old side marker lights? Nice ride by the way!

 

H8 for fogs, correct.
W5W for the parking / running lights.

Thanks a bunch!

Why on earth would you want yellow? Even the French figured out it doesn't work. (but hey, neither do the French....lol)

 

Hi Rich... the yellow have less beam scatter in the rain, plus I think they look good.
