Hey all!

I'm on the verge of purchasing the Countryman projector head lights (OEM, black housing), however I'm on the verge because I do not want to pay the fee for programming (this is stupid...I blame BMW) and I want to buy the headlights from 3rd party (ebay, here, etc.) because I don't want to use the factory HID or buy the expensive headlights from Mini. Is it possible to use an aftermarket H4 HID kit with the OEM projector bulbs?! I hate these halogen headlamps...They aren't the most attractive headlights...

 

Or would you replace it with an aftermarket H13 HID kit? I just read that they are H13 bulbs on the project model...

 

Hello, are you trying to put an HID kit in OEM Xenon housing ? The service should be 1 hr to flash them, call around.

Does anyone know which is the positive in the headlight plug? I know the brown wire is the negative

 

Should be the yellow. Yellow, black, and red are typically postive.

 

Ok thanks. I got a set of AHL and will see if I can get just the high and low beams to work.

 

Blame the company all you want, but all modern cars require coding of some sort to enable options that a car didn't originally come with.

 

True...

I went ahead and started purchasing the OEM (black housing) projector headlights; paid $225 for the right one (complete with bulbs and ballast)...Now I just need to find the left one...

 

When you get the other side , post up when complete.

 

Will do! I'm pretty psyched to get this "mod" completed. I haven't seen a lot of modded MCS light coffee colored ones out there. :D

 

Thanks

I have not see allot of light Coffee Countryman's out there. Even though I really like the color.

 

Thanks! Me too. When the CMS first came out, I built one exactly (less the headlights) to spec as the one I bought last year; it was a light coffee colored. :D
