Hi
i have a 2002 mini and i am thinking of upgrading my headlights to the headlights off a 2004 mini which have a different look to them. A picture is attached.
can anyone tell me if these lights will fit my car directly ad a swap, or are they a different shape so they can not be fitted?
cheers

I wish mine had them too!

Cost wise as you say,to get them fitted legally, with the leveling sensors and washers, it's stupid money. :(

Plenty of people however have just bunged them in and had their cars reprogrammed so the lights don't flicker and supposedly they work fine, personally though I would want the job to be 100% legit.
