Full Halo Headlights & Union Jack Tail Lights

It seems that the market has not yet launched out the MINI 2018 lights styles: headlights with the full led halo (swithcback turn signal) nor the Union Jack tail lights.

I have searched in recognized websites in Europe and China but at this moment I haven't found anything for our R56s.

If someone has news, they will be more than welcome!

F56 style headlights, the full ring is close to the design of the F56 LCI ( Spec D V2 ) , nothing really for the taillights yet. When something comes out we will let you know. Some people are modding complete led rings on the Spec D V2.

Hello,
I have the Spyder ones, but must confess I do like the ones from "Spec-D" more (because the full circle led, it looks more natural without the washer cap).
I would like to know how the beam pattern is on a white wall (the ones from Spyder are pretty decent, although not as good as a Morimoto projector). Do you have any picture? (are they DOT pattern or ECE) ?

And I'm also afraid that the Spec-D headlights don't work with the high beams always on (only flash), am I correct?

"*** High beam function on locked position has been disabled, only able to flash high beam ***"

Thats only on these below in this design, not the V2 above.

And what about the beam pattern? I must confess I really love the DOT pattern

It has the correct cut off. Only ones that dont are the European genuine MINI projectors, they have a flat cutoff beam vs the DOT US stepped beam on low beam. The stepped beam from the sypder headlight for example.

Yes, the Spyder ones (the ones I have at the moment), have the DOT pattern, with that little step.
Before having the Spyder Headlights, I had the Spec D (version 1, with the "angel eyes") and they had the ECE pattern - that I didn't like)
So these version (Spec D V2, with the led "eye lid") have which one?
*I'm from Portugal, btw *
