Are R56 Headlamps a Universal Fit Between Years?
Are all of the R56 headlamps '07-'12 a direct swap from each other?
I want to build some retrofit projector headlights for my '11 MCS since the cutoff on the OEM ones is terrible.
To do this, I'm planning on buying a spare set of headlights from eBay or the such. I need to know if I have to buy a set specifically made for the '11-'12 models or if one from a '07+ would fit and mount the same way. I know they look the same but are they a direct swap?
Thanks for any help!!

There is an aftermarket company that makes Projectors for the R56 for around $800 which is a lot cheaper then buying stock and you can customize them black housing or whatever color and pain th ring inside but, I don't remember the company. They are plug and play too which I don't the stock ones are.

Thanks for the responses guys. Porthos, are you talking about blackflames customs?
I did something crazy and called the parts dept at my MINI dealer. Models '08-'11 are the same part number. '07 is different and '12 is different. So 3 part numbers for headlight housings in the R56.
