After driving SWMBO's Fiesta today, I wouldn't mind doing this mod. It appears that these are heated bits; is there a non-heated option? I ask because my car doesn't have OE heated mirrors. How does the installation go?

The tail lights look more like frosted instead of smoked, what did you use?

Well, at the moment, my fine dealer is trying to sort out my BT issues. But my most recent mod was the LED fog/DRLs. So far those have done a nice job of keeping the AM brain dead neighbors from pulling out in front of me... Fingers firmly crossed.

BTW, swarley- dig the silver! There's one pretty similar to that on the showroom floor in front of me. Wears the blackout treatment really well. Don't investigate the "Black Line" tail lights. Nope, you wouldn't wanna do that...

We have the Factory DRL / Fogs for MINI right here:

MINI Daytime Running Lights LED part # 63122338554

http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/SiteSearch/63122338554/





Another choice is the Ziza Position Light LED kit. This is for MINIs with or without foglights and gives you an error free LED light when you turn the position light on with the parking light ( first click on the stock ) right before you turn on the headlights. So its great for owners with just the position light who did not get the fog light option and they match the Xenon headlights pretty well, or who just want front facing leds.

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...tonight-3.html

Ziza Front Position Light LEDs ES2684738

http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/SiteSearch/ES2684738/ES2684738/




Thanks
