i found these while browsing the Moss MINI website. They are 30 dollars. I think i might order them if they are like the ones from CTD Germany. here they are: http://www.mossmini.com/Shop/ViewPro...eIndexID=41009




i also read that MINI offers these, is that true?? does mini offer the black side markers??

please enlighten me, cuz i really want to order these soon.

These work. I got the same ones from Direct Car Parts in the UK. It was abour $30 with shipping IIRC.

Hint- once you get the markers out, you'll need to reuse the same bulb holder - if you get the black-looking ones, you'll want to spray the bulb holder flat black so it doesn't show as much.

The black ones I got weren't smoked (hard to tell from the picture) - it was just not mirrored on the back of the lens. Since the back is made of black plastic, it looks "black".

Check with your state's DOT laws. The orange bulbs may be required. I know they are in TX.

As far as replacement, on one side is a clip that kind of gives a little, so simply push the marker to one side a little and pull out on the other side and they come right out. Extremely simple mod. Takes maybe 10 min. That's only because you have to figure out wich way to push it and which side to pull. :smile:

I called Moss yesterday and they are not in yet and they don't know when they will be in. I wish vendors would wait until they have parts available before they advertise them.

as far as i know, there is no one selling the smoked side lights in the arches. however you can get the smoked tint that goes on the light. i did mine and they look very good.

I haven't paid anything for shipping yet, but I agree, $10.00 is a lot. It will probably come in a $1.00 box with maybe $3.00 of real shipping costs. I suppose I could take a day off of work and drive down and pick it up in person.

I generally don't mind paying a bit extra for shipping since Internet shopping doesn't require a bunch of driving around.

Depends where you live-UPS has different rates

I have ordered things from Moss and other vendors on here, it will come when their suppier sends it.

I have noticed that several companies now have the product shipped direct.

It is great having things come and the boys wondering Is it for MY car
