Has anyone out there in Canadaland had their dealer install the official BMW driving lights? How long is the installation? The web site Mini.ca gives a price of $495 for the lights and I assume installation is extra. Are they useful or just for looks??

Just received an email from my dealer in Calgary yesterday - $498 for the lights. Installation is 3 hours for a total of $860. A bit pricey, but I had to spend my $1000 mini challenge bonus on something!!

I thought the bonus was only good on brand new orders placed after the event?

Hmm, driving lamps. I think they may be next after the pulley install, especially if we're driving down to AMVIV next March.

Yes, the mini bonus can only be used for accessories AFTER attending the event and then purchasing a new vehicle. However since we took delivery of our MINI only 5 days prior to the event, we managed to talk to the right people and they were able to extend the bonus to us. Definitely a positive experience for us and MINI so far.

On Yaletown MINI's website (Vancouver) the installed price for driving lights is $786. Of course, in BC there's the additional provincial sales tax.

The dealer in Halifax stated an approx cost of $1,000 which includes lights, installation and taxes. So the prices you quote of about $800 would work out with tax to about $912. It is a lot of money for something of questionable use, but they sure do look good. Maybe another downside is they are so exposed to a parking accident.

I think calling them "BMW-driving lights" is adding to the exorbitant cost. Try calling them KIA driving lights!

Anyone know how much they are from a U.S. Dealer?
