I like the look of your Fog Lights better than my 06 Cooper S; but I can't buy a newer Cooper S until I win the Lotto !

I just installed the lights to fill in those tacky holes without actually wiring them up. They're fake but look great.

Did you grab these from the dealer? I called the dealer and they quoted me $76/lense! I'm thinking the ones on WMW and OUT are aftermarket :(
BTW - it looks great on your Mini! Love the color too

Got them from OutMotoring ($56.00 for the pair with bulbs), they are OEM, and came in BMW boxes.
Thanks, I think they make the rear look more finished.

OK - here's my comment. I bought mine form one of our vendors, though I don't remember who. Very easy install and wired to my tail/brake lights as per instructions.

Thanks. I have always felt, the more lights in the rear, that better. Especially brake lights. And the brighter, the better too. I have never understood people who apply a smoke tint to their lights...
Besides the top box and fender lights, I added 10 4-led lights on the chrome strip.

can you explain this more? so you did the coding for it? i've heard that many dealers will tell you it is impossible to retrofit fog lights

I had a tech in my service dept. tap the brake/running lights circuit, so they do not operate as rear fog lights but as extra running, brake lights. I should have been more accurate in my description. I hope this clears up any confusion. See post #8 to see them turned on. It looks like "Austin S" did it the same way as the guy in my service dept.
