Could someone tell me why, and here's the stupid question of the day.
Ok, the week?
The month?

Why are the optional MINI's auxiliary lights so small compared to the REAL lights seen on original Mini Coopers like in the Italian Job.

As soon as my convertible arrives in November, I plan on mounting FULL SIZE driving lights.

oh another italian job question while we're asking them...teehee
how come all the lights in the italian job film look so nice? i mean they're like whiteish, light blueish - what sort of xenon lights are they? coz i'm sure the OEM ones don't look like that...i've always wanted to get THAT look
i mean for the lights from the italian job

anyone got any ideas???

cheers

rip out the mini lights and put on some PIAA 540s.

OR some Hella 500

Nobody forcing you to stay with OEM driving lights
