My were bought from minimania UK and described as factory driving lights, i wonder if the UK OEMs are different ?

Thanks for the reply

Hmmmm, the wiring harness isnt the same either !

It just looks as though there is a connection to each lamp, a connection to the main beam live, an earth, and another small brown/white wire which im not sure what thats for (maybee a switch but one didnt come with the kit)

Has anyone fitted these lights themselves, i would appreciate any advice!

Thanks

Hrm....this is the best I can find. They are PIAA 540 lights, on a US spec MINI, but it might help?

The factory driving lights without the light switch is the 'original' version light kit. We have the instructions for these if you still need it.

DCM,

I've bought some original Mini aux headlights(without the switch) but i want to try and fit them myself. My technical skills are somewhat limited but I flatly refuse to pay BMW £157 to fit them.

Could you possibly do detailed instructions for me, as to how you fitted yours?

Instructions and pictures, I can do

Thank you

Kirsty
