will the back up light from the pre 05 MCS fit in the rear fog light hole in the 05 MCS?

Tigger, Eeyore & Roo · Feb 10th, 2005, 07:19 AM

Yes.

I've changed the unit in my '04 Cooper to an '05 item and it fits perfectly. I just needed to modify the wiring in my case.

I don't know how your MINI's are wired for your market, but in the UK it works like this:

For '04 and earlier there was a reversing lamp in the centre of the rear bumper, meanwhile the main light clusters had twin fog lamps.

For '05 model cars this situation was reversed so that there was one central fog lamp and the reversing lights moved into each of the main light clusters.

I simply upgraded the entire set up to '05 spec.

This meant that I had to pop out the standard centre reversing light and replace it with the new fog lamp. These two parts are identical. I thought that that was what you were trying to find out. Sorry if I misunderstood.

Why don't you have my one? It's 4 month's old and immaculate!

Just send us a MINI souvenir from the US in exchange!
