MINI realized that people wanted larger driving lights after hearing and seeing what the aftermarket had done with the Gen 1 MINI's and stepped the new kit up a notch. The new driving light kit uses larger lights that sit a bit farther out and a lot more stable. Available in either chrome or black housings and include all wiring and relays needed. A modified grill (shown in the far right image) is required to make room for the brackets. MINI offers 3 grill choices which are only available WITH the brackets and are included in our price as is the basic switch which replaces the far left dash panel (hence the large price tag). Other dash colors are available. You could modify your existing grill to allow the bracket to fit but the slot is fairly large and MINI only offers the bracket with the grill. Go figure. Also, the brackets can only be used in conjunction with their lights because they mate together in order to allow them to angle and pivot. As a result the lights can be only used with their brackets. They really want control don't they?
2 Finish options on the Light Housings:
-Chrome
-Black
Grill choices:
-07-2010 Cooper S Black mesh style (stock but with slots for brackets)
-07+ Cooper Chrome (stock but with slots for brackets)
-07+ John Cooper Works (stretched 'honeycomb' shape but with slots for brackets; shown in both far right lower images) available for either Cooper OR S version all Gen 2.
- NEW facelift 2011 Cooper S ONLY (fits all Gen2 "S" models)
Please note the Cooper Chrome grill CANNOT be retrofitted to the Cooper S because it restricts airflow due to the plastic backing. All others can be used on the Cooper.
