I have seen a prototype of the new (facelift style) rear light that is LED - These will be onsale Monday

Great news, I've been waiting for this to happen When you say "facelift", can you confirm that's 2004-2006?

Looking forward to seeing the photos When will you have the first photos?

Tigger.

1/6/07 Update: Interested, definitely interested!

[Damo]

Intrested in these depending on the looks.

Quote happy with by £10 LED bulbs though for now (note face lifted lights require different ones to the older lights) just not to happy with the "legality" of them

[minimad17]

the R56 or R53?

[Damo]

I'd say R50-R53 with it being posted in the "R50, R52 & R53 - First Generation MINI > Exterior >" forum

[Paul]

Yep, the R50, R52 and R53 all have the same light fittings.

[minimad17]

I know!

And the photo of us together was by far the worst

They left out all the ICE photos (Well MD Changer )

Think Jono may of been playing with publisher

I have been wanting some of these since i first saw them on a BMW 330i will it just be the running/brake light thats LED? or will the turn indicator also be LED?

[mikeythemini]

pics added to first post

[Tigger, Eeyore & Roo]

Thanks Mikey.

I see that the reversing light is conventional, is the indicator LED as well?

Will they need separate reflectors?

Tigger.

PS: Thanks, the pillars arrived this morning, just after we'd spoken!

[Root Ginger]

Seems a bit silly to go to all that trouble and then stick a standard bulb in the reverse light

I can see most people ordering a set of LED reverse lights off of you Mikey. Best get stocked up now

[Jordan210]

Very Nice , WHen i have some money i will get some. Now what ones would look the best on a black car ?

[Banana Panceyette]

* just thread subscribing*

they look ace, looking forward to seeing them on a car

[Richard Crofts]

Mikey...Is there any way to fit these to a pre facelift? I assume the connectors are the same just that the reversing light on the new lamp won't be active/work? presumably the rear reverse in the pre faclifts will still just work independant of these lamps being fitted. If not a straight bolt and plug is there a way to get them working on a prefacelift without too much hassle. I really fancy these instead of my black projectors.

[Tigger, Eeyore & Roo]

Richard,

It should be simple enough as I exchanged the tail lamps on my pre-facelift Cooper for the later ones with relatively simple mods to exchange fog and reversing lamp wiring.

I'm looking forward to seeing what they look like in real life and how much they are...

Tigger.

[mikeythemini]

I will be offering various kits so all models will be covered
Except the R56 of course
