Please can someone confirm what bulb type needed for standard MCS head lights and any option for clean white good dip and full beam, also what type bulbs wattage number etc needed for front ,rear and side indicators. I was keen on Phillips Silervision is this a good choice thanks derek

H4 for dipped/full beam - same bulb so only 1 pair required. I fitted Osram Silverstars which are good.

There is a new +80% Philips bulb available from Power Bulbs - autobulbs, autolamps, xenon headlights, car bulbs, headlight bulbs, osram silverstar, silver star, philips vision plus, philips blue vision, bluevision

Hi f99lr i just emailed a site to check bulb types today both gave different headlight buld type and different indicator types and MINI uk or the Mini parts at the dealer have a clue BMW should have a look at staff traing i expected better, I will go for H4 for standard headlights for MCS and hope for best. Good luck on finding the correct fitment
