There were several!

Does that make it more simple for you to understand?

Granted, my rant about poorly referenced lighting nomenclature, even in the Owners Manual is a personal thing. I have been messing around with electrical construction and design for aerospace and residential/commercial construction for over 40 years. Take for instance a SPDT switch in electronics, is called a "3 way switch" in building construction and there is no 3rd position, like a center off.....

 

I was just kidding with you haha
I have indeed seen people on here with the yellow laminex film which looks very good in my opinion. And I have always been confused with everyone calling the parking lights something different such as city lights and driving lights. I do that myself as well. I'll see if I can find a picture with the yellow film. I think it looks nice

 

A photo of the film, or at least the the logo on name so I could contact them to find out how they contoured the film over that really convex surface!

I have the same film (check out "Garage") over my Hella 500 Fogs to make them yellow and it is very nice in foul weather and in broad daylight they throw a bright beam. I use them to keep people from pulling out in front of me if I am really moving through heavily wooded and someone thinks they need to pull into the roadway casually; it really gets their attention!

 

Oh nice I was thinking about getting it for my Hella 500s I'm about to put on. I don't know I'm sure its a pain on fogs. http://www.lamin-x.com/Mini-Cooper-S...-p/mn107-1.htm this is what I was planning on getting.

 

 

Mike:

I used this stuff. I think it is the same stuff!!.

Looks very nice, is that Laminex?

 

I was going to get that kit from out motoring as well. Yes that bottom picture said it was the lamin-x film.

 

Hey off topic. Where are you in western Washington. I just moved to the Pullman Moscow region.

 

I wonder how that person got the Film to contour to that convex surface! Maybe remove the entire lamp assembly and use a heat gun to shrink the Shieldz/Lamin-x into place?

I will PM about location.

 

Here is what the Nokya Hyper Yellow fog lamps (H-8) and the Nokya Yellow parking lamps (194) look like after the first test. I have also compared them to the Hella 500 Fog Lamps w/yellow LaminX Shieldz by Hella. When I get better photos of the lamps on the road I will Post in my web page 2 Posts up.

 

Here is the rest of the Post showing the Hella 500's for a comparison.

thought you would try the lamin-x... haha do you like them so far...

 

I do like the Nokya bulbs and the Hella 500 Fogs really work very well with the LaminX (Hella calls them "Shieldz"). The difference between the 35watt OEM fogs and the Hella 55watt fogs is pretty dramatic!

When I replace the intercooler, with a Helix stepped IC, I will have the front bumper cover off. I will try to mold the LaminX to the OEM fog lamps at that time.

 

that sounds like a good idea... i want to try it to but dont want to take the bumper off haha

 

Once I get the bumper cover off the MCS to install the IC, and play with the fogs/LaminX, then I will feel more confident about doing my wife's Cooper and installing a complete OEM fog lamp system.

 

are you planning on putting the cooper s fog housing on the wifes cooper?

 

Yes, put the standard MINI Fog/Parking Lamp Assembly in her Cooper. They are fairly bright when used, the Parking Lamps and Fogs, together. It is a good thing to use in the daylight when so many people have their headlights on the yellow Fogs/Parking really stand out in the herd. When traveling along forested roads it makes people coming out of driveways stop and think.

 

I need to replace the city lights and not the fog lights to a yellow. Can you please recommend me a bulb (PIAA, Nokya)

Thank you.

 

Read Post 336. Nokya 194's

 

Ok. I have the Nokya Hyper Yellow fog lamps (H-8) but didnt know the parking lamps were the same as city lights. Will get the 194's. Thank you.

 

Does PIAA make any? I find them to be better quality and color than Nokya.

 

In the same housing there are big one and little one. Little ones are Parking and big ones are fog.

 

Here is what PIAA sells. They cost more $$$
