Electrical Has anyone created a real instruction set to install OEM driving lights
ElectricalFor discussions regarding wiring up electrical modifications such as radar detectors, brake light mods, power sockets, and driving lights in Clubman (R55), Cooper and Cooper S (R56), and Cabrio (R57) MINIs.
not just the OEM instructions, but something that mentions which panels to remove to swap the colour line and stuff like that... With real pics
I installed my set this weekend. Yeah the MINI ones were pretty vague, but I guess MINI techs know what panels to remove. My biggest issue was after I routed wires into the engine compartment where the ground wires (A4) connected to. The PDF makes it look like service point terminal 31 (X165) is on the underside of the fuse block. After searching I realized it was the stud on the frame. I did take some pictures but not very many. I'll post them later.
Thanks and if you have any tips on removing the colour line piece for the switch and the grill. I'm concerned if I don't know the "procedure" I may force something and break it.
So here's what pieces I removed to swap the color line.

Thanks, you have just demystified 80% of the light install. I think all that is left is to find pics of the wiring part!!!
I got kind of slack taking pictures when I got to the actual wiring part. I was getting too excited. Here is the footwell module. I think I have a pic of the engine compartment fuse area on my home PC. I'll try to get them uploaded to my gallery. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...y.php/cat/2459
