Can any one help? I have ordered a set of driving lights for my new mini and speaking to the dealer, they tell me that there is only one position they can be placed in. Is this correct?

I am thinking about putting another set on (making 4 driving lights) but wondered if they are wired into the first set or if they need to be wired back to source. The dealer said that the second set would also need to be wired back to source and that is it quite a job.
Hubby is thinking about doing a bit of DIY if it is easy!!!

I have 4 driving lights on the front of my 2004 Mini. It was done by the dealer. Be careful if you are DIYing it. The dealership had to get me a new MINI after they blew up my 2003 Mini while trying to do the wiring for the auxiliary lights.

When you order the extra lights (as I have), you also need a new grille. I assume that the new grille must have preset cutouts to allow the mounting brackets to come through. For this reason they can only place the lights in a set position. Any additional lights would require physically cutting up the grille assuming that there is somewhere on the body to mount the extra brackets.
