BMW fitted driving lights

Are they any good?

Do they integrate into your Mini better than the Hellas?

I think they are quite good. The only rust I've seen on them is a little rust on the nut at the bottom, not really noticeable.

I don't know how other driving lights intergrate with the car, but the Mini ones are designed to intergrate with the Mini.

BMW dealers do charge a lot for fitment though, I was quoted around £200-250. Luckily my brother is an electrical engineer, and fitted them in about 2 hours for free!

They really do come into their own down dark country lanes.

The MINI lights fit in with the look of the car better. The other lights may be cheaper, but they look it (just my opinion)

I have had mine for 2 years, and no rust
