New and already tackling a project
Hello NAM,
This isn't my first day on your forum, but it is my first official thread. I've always considered MNIs to be unique and they've held a special interest to me. My first project car was a 1996 honda civic, which I replaced the motor, changed the front end, added power windows, and did numerous other upgrades for. One in particular that I enjoyed was putting TL projectors into the headlights. My goal was to make it a daily drive track car, mainly SCCA for fun. Unfortunately last winter someone smashed my front end.
Now I'm the proud owner of a 2002 MINI and loving it! I love it the way it is and will probably leave it mostly stock. I am however missing the amazing headlights I once had. My second thread will be modifying my headlights. I Hope you NAM members will be able to help me along the process as I delve into the unknown (for me).

Thanks for the words guys, I get reminded how special MINIs are when fellow owners wave at me in traffic.
If your talking about people that put HID bulbs into Halogen housings, then yea I totally agree with you, they are dreadful and I'll admit I myself used it for a few months since the factory '99 civic had terrible output. I did end up retrofitting in projectors from a Acura TL which was amazing for driving. After the accident I still have them so I'd like to try to do the same for my MINI
