I know it's been awhile but I just purchased these lights for a 2014 countryman & wondered where you tapped in for the 12volt ign/acc connection. I want the lights to go off with the ignition. Any help greatly appreciated

The best connection found was to fuse 44 at r/side inside fuse box. Ran wire from engine compartment thru firewall at same grommet hood release cable goes thru then under dash, behind heater box under top of carpet behind fuse box door to connection to fuse 44 which is the cig lighter fuse. Getting the info from a nice Mini dealer fuse 44 wire is a red/black wire with yellow bands going around, this connection is easy to tap into because it is a blue connector at front left side of fuse box.Pin 2 of blue connector. On with ignition, off when off.Any questions do not hesitate to ask. They work really well & are really bright.

Others say they light up pretty well. I was going to get chrome brake ducts anyway. Figured I may as well get some with LEDs in them for a few dollars more. If I don't like the lights, I will disconnect them and still have the chrome brake ducts I want.

Thinking about another way to wire these lights which would be easy to do and easily removable. And I wouldn't have to muck around in the fuses. Maybe I'm way off, I'm no electrician. Since I want the light to be on whenever the ignition is on, even when the parking and headlights are on, could I just connect the red and black to a 12v plug and plug into the splitter I have coming off the cig lighter socket?






Anyone know for sure if my idea will work?

Answered my own question.Yes they can be wired to a cig lighter plug
Pretty happy with these. Going to add a waterproof connector near the bumper so they can be easily unplugged if/when the bumper has to be removed.
