If recently become the proud owner of a Mini Cooper R50 in glourious chili red with a white roof and white bonnet stripes. Ive done some subtle change to the exterior like changing the scuttles to cooper s ones and putting on the chrome filler cap. Im have just purchased some bmw mini spot lights and im wondering if anyone has any tips on fitting them has any instructions they can email to me they have so far proved a challenge and im way to excited about putting them to keep waiting lol :D .... Oh and does anyone know how much generally the coding of the lights cost thanks for any replies they are much appreciated. Oh and email is edsassin88@hotmail.co.uk thanks muchly

Be careful those are instructions for the American Market.
In the UK auxiliary lights have to switch off when dipped headlights are in use. In other words the only time the auxiliary lights can work is when the headlights are on full beam.
You cannot as far as I am ware switch auxiliary lights via a switch unless they are classed as fog lights. These need to be mounted low down and are of a limited light throw.
