Lights, bulbs and angel eyes

I have tried searching, but just cant find all the info I am after.

I am after some new bulbs and lighting for my MINI. Preferably E marked so I dont get any problems with the law. I have the original Xenon head lamps and would like the rest of the front lights to match the colour, and to give out more light to illuminate the road ahead more.

I am after the following lights:
Halo side lights with LED indicators.
Clear LED high brake light.

I am after the following bulbs:
Silver indicator bulbs for the side lights. I already have a clear lense as its an MCS.
High beam bulbs for the Xenons. (I think just the dipped lights are Xenon)
Fog light bulbs.

Are there any real LED rear light cluster for the pre-face lift model? I havent been able to find them and using LED bulbs doesnt seem like a good idea as they arent as bright.

Will the bulb warning light come on if LED's are used? Will LED indicator LED's flash correctly?

Thanks in Advance.

I know putting LED bulbs in existing lights is a bad idea, but I havent seen full LED rear lighta anywhere yet.

I have a company working on a full led rear light

The led indicators will flash at the correct speed if a load resistor is used - they come withy mine
You are correct that using LED bulbs in normal red rear lights is not good , however I have used LED bulbs in my rear lights - as I have the clear rear lights
Halos are e marked but LED bulbs are not
Sidelights/halos are not designed to light the road
We have Main beam bulbs that will match your xenons better

Thanks Mike. Any pictures of this full led rear? Is it clear with LED's that light up in the correct colour? That would be ideal for what I want if it is.

So is it your halo's that come with the load resistors or the LED bulbs?

Have you got direct links to the LED bulbs that will go in the halo lights and the main beam bulbs please? I think I have worked out what else I need from your site.

Halos with LED indicator bulbs here - don't forget LED bulbs are not e marked & you need to do a minor wiring mod at the indicator (load resisitors are included) NewMINIStuff.com

Main beam bulbs NewMINIStuff.com or these NewMINIStuff.com The first ones are more like xenon in colour

Clear rear light sets here NewMINIStuff.com I can supply these with LED bulbs for an extra £30

Everything is in stock

Thanks Mikey. One last thing I couldnt find; bulbs to match the xenons for the OEM spot lights. Do you have any? If not, which ones would I need to get from Halfrauds?
