Driving Lights brackets

I bought driving light brackets on one of the web sides that specialize on MINIs but came with out instruction and since product is a manufacture replacement the web side told me they cannot help me, I went to the dealer and unfortunately they cannot helpme either. Can anyone help me and let me know where I can find instruction how to install these brackets.
Thank You.

Hello,

Which brackets did you buy and what model MINI. Just wanted to make sure since this is your first post. I know your in the Gen 2 section, so the brackets come with the grille for Genuine MINI. If there Genuine MINI , I can help you a little more.

Thanks

that's the factory kit and these are the install instructions

http://www.minimania.com/pdfile/R56_Rally_Lights.pdf

obviously you can ignore all the parts about wiring the factory kit - altho it will give you some suggestions for routing the wires, finding the ground etc . . .

pages 11 - 12 show how to attach the bracket and modify the grill ... you will replace the grill.
