Ok. Ordering now. My LEDs suck *** - was a bad buy at $10, not even all LEDs light up, and because of that they keep throwing errors.

*sucks* when you're blasting music in the stereo let's just say :P

Try this. It is error free and bright. I had them for almost 6 months without any issues.

For interior lights, I recommend these LED lights. A bit pricey but worth every penny.

I am looking to buy the interior XENON kit. Which one is better? The Original Interior XENON (Filament) Bulbs
or
Interior XENON LED ver 2.0

If I understand correctly one is a filament bulb and the other contains LEDs. The LEDs are twice the price so not very happy about that. In terms of the light, do they give out the same light?

I've been looking at these but searching around I have seen mixed reviews. Some of the BMW forums have people suggesting the LED2.0 lights are the same or dimmer than the OE filament bulbs. They are also known as Bimmian. There is also the "Ultimate LED' that might be brighter than EO but they sure are expensive.

Your second link site only lists the exterior license plate replacements... nothing for interior of a MINI for the "Interior Packages" section.

I looked at your website and other than saying led, there isn't much info on your lights. What's the color temperature? How many lumens? What's the beam pattern?

I still rock amber as my running lights. Modified the housings a little bit to light up the lower 2/3rds of the reflector for a complete look.

Has anyone replaced the front fog lights. It seems pretty complicated. Is there a manual or an easy way to do it?

It's as simple as turning the wheels, opening the housing and replacing the bulbs. Takes 10 minutes.

The drivers side is a pain due to the washer fluid reservoir. I just removed both front wheels when I replaced my fog and city lights.

The guides online that I found didn't mention you have to remove the fog light electrical connector before twisting the bulb out.

Are you talking about the bulb or the entire housing itself?

There's an access panel in the wheel well if you just want to change the bulb. If you want to remove the housing you have to take the front bumper off.

I just want to change the bulbs. So I have to slide under the car and look for the wheel well?

no sliding involved... just turn the wheels all the way to one side... then there is an access panel turn it and take it out... then you have access to both the city driving lights and the fog lights... put your hand in there and unclip the wire then twist the bulb and take it out... then put the new bulb in twist and clip the wire back on... all you have to do then is put the access panel cover back on and your good to go...
