R60 Driving Lights install instructions

Driving Lights install instructions
Has anyone attempted to personally install driving lights on their Countryman? I picked up a factory set with the grill, all wires, and switches... Checked with my local dealer about install cost, and about S#@T myself... I am very handy and do all my own normal service work. (I.E. brakes / oil service, ect.)
What I am wondering is if there is an instruction guide out there... I looked around, but could only find something for the R56...
Help anyone???

Word of warning, pay close attention to how your Foot Well Module is orientated. Old versions of the install instructions are upside down. I ran into that problem and it made for quite the headache. See attached photos, look at the direction that your wires are coming into the module, note the location of the X14261 harness in each, in my car 261 was on the bottom.

this wire controls when the lights can come on. It connects to the BRIGHT ON lead (which is why the connection point is different for halogen and xenon lights). Only when this wire is hot can the DLs come on.
If this wire was connected to the low beam on, or an always on ... you get the idea (simplified explanation btw)
Two concerns:
This works fine for simple DL installs. The factory kit is NOT a simple install ... it is more complicated with the auto reset functions etc {and why the kit is $$ and install $$}
(a simple install would be to just wire and on/off switch with one relay. diagram for comparison:
A legal install moves the wire from the battery to the switch to be bright on to switch ... so the switch is only hot when brights are on.)
Some states check for 'legal' installs during annual inspections. IF your state does such installs you might want to ask around.
If you want more help PM me. I've installed severaL sets for folks, simple wires and factory kits.

Question, I have a 2016 with Xenon, I put A1 into pin position 4 in X14260 (gray, there was nothing in that position. ). I have everything wired but A1 never goes +12 with lights on and high beams on.??? Does it need any dealer programming to activate this pin?

Uggg, was following the instructions above which I couldn't get to work. Found a different set for R60 with Zenon, A1 wire has to attach to pin 41. Oddly, this one attached doesn't show the switch? Anyways it works now, didnt with wire in pin 4. Changed out the bulbs to CREE LED since I had the halogen housings. Perfect match color temp with Zenon. Only big disappointment was that MINI had put security screws on the bulb holders... why mini, why? No problem, had a full set of security bits.
