On the plastic trim i spray a little bit of Surf City Beyond Black tire shine onto a microfiber towel and rubbed into the plastic. Not too much, just enough to were you can see the plastic start to shine a bit Keeler Mini has been one of the best sales experience I have had with any dealership. I know the BMW service team was great to me when I had my M5, we'll see how good Mini Service is also!

Thanks for the tips. Frankly, Keeler has been a total disappointment to me. Very poor service......very poor. Their attitude is also very arrogant. When I went to buy my second Mini from Keeler and keep the current one......they could care less and never tried to start a deal. I ended up buying from Towne Mini in Buffalo instead. Recently there was the vintage Grand Prix at Watkins Glen International honoring Mini Cooper as the margue car.....Towne and Rochester Mini were there with Mini USA......and no Keeler. Would have been smart to have all three Upsate dealers there. Overall there was over 150 Mini's. I'll buy a third but it won't from Keeler.

New DRLs installed. $438.00 from dealer. No coding required. A five hour install so kinda plug and play..... These pictures don't truly show how bright these lights really are.
They hurt your eyes if more than a glance.

No bulbs at all. These are 100% LED units.

Sweet, i didn't realize they were full LED.

I noticed on Outmotoring.com, the details say there are 3 modes; Half halo, full halo, and full halo with the center fog light on. If it's a direct plug-n-play, does the fog light toggle switch just cycle through the modes? Does it ever turn completely off?

EDIT:

Just noticed in your picture that you have the half halo in conjunction with the fog on. This is different from what Outmotoring.com says.
