i'm trying to find pictures of minis with 4 spot lamps but cant find any anywhere. i'm thinking of getting them because i saw a black cooper with 4 spot lamps along the front and it looked amazing.

Anyone able to help me out on this one? it would be much appreciated.

thanks

I think you mean 'New Mini Sports' black cooper. Go to their website and check it out - the url is www.newminisport.com

They supply the 4 light bar for £199 + VAT

Hope this helps

Maquis · Apr 11th, 2003, 10:37 PM

Sorry its £199 including VAT

KJ_daGreenMini · Apr 11th, 2003, 10:44 PM

excellent, thanks for that.

someone on here has 4 lights that the dealer fitted but i can't remember who. Any ideas Tony - i know it's someone from this neck of the woods

Maquis · Apr 11th, 2003, 10:46 PM

No problem - glad to help

Maquis · Apr 11th, 2003, 10:52 PM

The only one I have read about is Stokey - no pictures on his gallery of them though

KJ_daGreenMini · Apr 11th, 2003, 11:07 PM

the cooper i saw with em was at my local BMW garage and i thought it made it look like a spider, which is cool, and it had an aero kit on it too. But apparently they are charging over £600 to get four spot lamps fitted.

Do you mean the yellow one in this photo from the heartbeat run?

EdGTI · Apr 11th, 2003, 11:57 PM

here are some pics. of a Cooper S Don Rosen MINI did.

ScooterMan · Apr 12th, 2003, 12:07 AM

EdGTI,

That's it. That's it.

Can you provide more data like:
What lights were used?
How is the wiring setup?
Cost?
Parts?

Can you tell I'm excited.
That's it! That's it!

How much is your labor cost to install all 4 lights? I really want to install it too.

Thanks

sugster · Apr 12th, 2003, 12:50 AM

Great pic of the brackets, I thought that was how they did it.
Now if only I could see where the wires were spliced together and if the fuses were standard....

My question on driving light installation

EdGTI · Apr 12th, 2003, 01:04 AM

they used two sets of factory driving lights. no idea on price or labor. I would P.M. ArticM3 for more info.

Here are some more pics. from his site.

sugster · Apr 12th, 2003, 01:17 AM

That looks sweet!

I think the guy from your 'neck of the woods' your on about Hat is my mate Ravensaxo!
He's from shipley/harrogate,he has an all black cooper wi aerokit and four spots but the inner two are'nt wired in.

I asked the dealer about these lights today and he said they supply and fit 2 for £240 !! I thought that was quite steep. Said they fitted 4 to a mini last week but only 2 worked as the car couldn't handle all 4 together ... ummmm!

Do these work when flashing the light only ?

ScooterMan · Apr 12th, 2003, 09:16 AM

Don't work? Check out the previous page and post by EdGTI. They glow mighty bright from my perspective. The real mystery is how did they wire it.

sugster · Apr 12th, 2003, 03:34 PM

I rang another three dealers yesterday to get quotes for them to fit them for me. Two said 'no problem, we've done it before', but quoted the earth to do it. The last dealer said 'no way, we don't know what will happen if we connect two sets up and we aren't going to be responsible for replacing your BC1'

Anybody got any further ideas?
I was looking at the installation guide/ wiring diagram which I downloaded from the DIY section on this site. I don't think it actually matters where the second set is wired in, providing its after branch D which is the fuse box connection.
Whats the worst that could happen? New fuse? New relay? New car????

Since Ravensaxo has the lights already installed, how about being the guinea pig?
