Ebay White Rear Lights - Why so CHEAP?!?
There has to be a reason why those white lights on ebay are so cheap. $50?!?! Aren't those lights $400 from MINI?

DOT approval?
They may not have DOT approval (usually a sticker or something.) Which means they're for "off-road use only." That could be why they're so cheap.

Plus, they're not MINI OEM.

my 2 cents,
vin.

They don't include the bulb assembly, OEM do. You'll need also need to buy red bulbs and amber ones also. Silver extreme if you can find red ones.
