OEM Joey mod / Black headlights!
After waiting almost 7 weeks after a factory backorder, today my dealer finally got my headlights…
Instead of going the Joey mod route to blacken my headlights I installed the black headlights that comes on the 50th anniversary special editions… So the parts are completely OEM, no worry about the paint ever flaking or whatever!!!
Took about 45 minutes to complete, transferring the bulbs, adjusting and done! I love the result… Pictures kinda suck but the car is in the garage but you'll get an idea...

I just got them from my local MINI dealer.
As for the other comments, yes I personnaly prefered going the OEM route even though it is a lot more money than painting, but that's a matter of personnal taste, no bad or good way to do it

To each his own. OEM is still OEM. Hey, if you have the money, why not?

That's about the retail here in Canada, I'd be really surprised if your price is not significantly lower (it always is!)… Let me get the MINI part numbers so you can look it up with a local US dealer, I'll have the numbers with me in a few hours
