This is one of the better resources I've found and a nice supplement to the somewhat skeletal directions that Alta provides:

http://web.mac.com/jonnieoh/My_MINI_...ts_How-To.html

It's a two-light set-up (like mine) but add two more brackets and another wiring harness and the process is the same.

Props to jonnieoh, without whom I wouldn't have had the confidence to do this mod on my own (particularly the drilling through the bumper part). He has an email link at the site above with an offer to answer additional questions.

In any event, remember that you'll want to position the bar as low as you can to ensure the back of the light fixtures clear the bumper cover.

Edit: Also note that this is a 1st Gen adaptation. I don't know how different the mod would be on an R56.
