i got out of my car whilst it was still on at night and when i looked at my lights i realised the cooper s has lovely white xenon headlamps .... but the sidelights are the boring yellow colour.

does anyonw know if i need specific bulbs for these or can i get standard white side light bulbs. like off ebay

Also as the side lights are in the bumper which i dont think you can access when lifting the bonnet?

Anyone know more about this than i do or had experience with it???

mikey will sort you out - see newministuff in the sponsors forum. He sells the bulbs you require, and will either fit them or tell you how to do it

what would u recommend?

Have a quick search, there's more info than you can cope with

I've got LEDs in mine which are a pretty good match, and I had halos on my previous S. They were slightly bluer, but looked great when they were off.

And yes, you can access the bulbs when the bonnet is lifted - it's a simple twist of the bulb holder to get them out, same with the indicator bulbs

Tried a few sets from ebay but they were either blue or no different.

Got these now - match xenons very well

Don't think you can fit LEDs if you have an R56 though

oh thats a shame i deff dont want blue - i have a 2002 model - i belive R56 is 2006 - onwards?

I think you can actually buy the 'clear look' bulbs from the dealer. I'm not 100%, but I'm sure that they offered me them as an extra. If not, you could try halfords or somewhere like that.
