Mini Driving lights

I hear you! I was going to get them installed on my MINI when I ordered it until I found out how much they cost PLUS how much freaking labor was required. I think it's pretty ridiculous, and I'm going to try to get my dealer down a little on them (cause they look so damned cool...admit it!); I'm sure that the lights themselves are negotiable enough, though the labor is hard to work any lower...unless it only takes them the half hour that one might expect. I dunno...there's something nice about just having the official controls and install...but dang, after buying the car I hardly have the petty cash lying around to just put those things. *sigh*

Actually it is a complicated install. It's well documented around the Web. But if you can live with a separate switch and not have them come on with the high beams, than you can do it quickly yourself with any number of aftermarket products (that look better, IMHO). I personally am holding off to get the "4 across".

The lights are NOT pre wired not even a relay or earth wire.

The control unit cannot even switch them on without re-programming.

Aftermarket lamps could be wired in with relays to switch on when on High beam.
