try sending a pm to Martyn. I thought monsta had these lights but apparently it's martyn. He might be able to help you out with a photo of the brackets.

Thanks for those links to Pandora2000's pictures.

I think the forum search function key should be changed to "askmonsta"





Thanks to smiffy too.....

they said the mounting brackets for the spot lights come with the lamps you cannot buy them on there own
And they also said i could not install my own spot lights because it will mess up the engine management system ??
Is this true and if not which wires do i connect them too ?
big it up from manchester

What can I say? I'm the man!!

We need someone with these spotlights to tell use where they connect up, they can only have two wires on each one surely?

I think BMW may have a point. My dealer just spent 15mins explaining to me that for example: the window toggle switches no longer have an open and closed circuit. It's a multi-highway now of digital signals along the same cable. There is no way I would be connecting anything to this car without BMW doing the hard wiring.

[monsta]

Yeah but the MINI is supposed to be wired so that adding optional accessories is easy, I can't see the spotlights having more than two wires on each (+ & -) and in theory the wiring is already there..

Can someone with the spotlights please look?

Thanks for the pictures of the spotlights, they'll help me to decide yea or nay on them. But, is it just me or did I already see signs of bodycancer around the screws?

I have heard that called CAN-bus by some car company or other. Could be totally off-base but I have heard it described somewhat like an Ethernet network. You have to plug into it in some way and figure out how stuff is addressed on a hardware layer (MAC addresses I suppose). I am sure it is all integrated into the ECU along with everything else - so perhaps the chip tuners will help figure this stuff out...
