Post MINI Countryman Driving/Fog lights

Hey all,

I have a quick question. I noticed that my front right driving light went out on my 2012 Mini cooper countryman S. There are two bulbs inside each fog light i've noticed, one small one on top that is on whenever the lights are on, and then the main bulb that needs to be turned on using the fog light button. The bulb that went out is the small one.

I was wondering what bulb is used for this light. In addition, I was wondering if there was an equivalent LED bulb that would not throw any warning light in the car. I would prefer LED in this case.

I also wonder if the fog light bulb is the same as the bulb above it, because if I were to replace the bulb with LED, I would like to just replace all the bulbs in the fog light housings with LED.

Thanks!

The smaller bulb is a W5W bulb, or 194/168. The fog light bulbs should be H8 size.

ECS Tuning has the marker lights in LED:

Those are it ^^. Fog lights are H8, those ziza bulbs are the edge style.

Thank you! I am also looking for the H8 bulbs you mentioned, and I can't seem to find them on your site when I look based on my car's make and model. Could you by chance give me a link to the bulbs that would match the parking light bulbs for the fog lights?

Also curious if you guys sell a yellow tint for the fog lights.

Thanks!

Thank you for the help! It was just listed under the 2011 model hence the confusion but it looks like it should fit my 2012. Ordered, will update with pictures when installed!
