Installed Driving lights
I installed a pair of driving lights on my R50 the other day. The car looks great with a pair of Hella 500s mounted on to factory light brackets. They work great and while they do bounce a bit because the Hellas are heavier than the Mini lights you don't notice it while driving. And it looks so proper with a pair of lights.
Please ignore my ugly hood. The paint is completely shot and needs to be resprayed at some point.

I wired them per hella's instructions such that they can only be on when the high beams are on. The switch is mounted into a storage tray I got from an 2005 or 2006 Cooper which is mounted under the switch panel.

yeah - theyre all of my aux lights are wired to their own relay *a single one* that is a 40amp Morimoto. I have 4 relays for my high and lowbeams. each of them get their own relay for reliability reasons. high and low are 55w HID, hellas are 100w halogens right now, got 75w HID ballasts coming and i'll see if it melts the housings.
I also have a hidden light bar under the tiny middle grille

Resurrecting an old thread here: I have the OEM kit and will be installing the brackets soon; can anyone with the hood mounted lights show me their brackets on the underside? Mine looks like the grille needs to be removed for access (I have the stock grille) and when I checked it the tabs look as though they will break on removal.
