Great news, I've been waiting for this to happen When you say "facelift", can you confirm that's 2004-2006?

Looking forward to seeing the photos When will you have the first photos?

Tigger.

1/6/07 Update: Interested, definitely interested!

Intrested in these depending on the looks.

Quote happy with by £10 LED bulbs though for now (note face lifted lights require different ones to the older lights) just not to happy with the "legality" of them

[minimad17]

the R56 or R53?

[Damo]

I'd say R50-R53 with it being posted in the "R50, R52 & R53 - First Generation MINI > Exterior >" forum

[Paul]

Yep, the R50, R52 and R53 all have the same light fittings.

[minimad17]

I know!

And the photo of us together was by far the worst

They left out all the ICE photos (Well MD Changer )

Think Jono may of been playing with publisher

I have been wanting some of these since i first saw them on a BMW 330i will it just be the running/brake light thats LED? or will the turn indicator also be LED?

[mikeythemini]

pics added to first post

[Tigger, Eeyore & Roo]

Thanks Mikey.

I see that the reversing light is conventional, is the indicator LED as well?

Will they need separate reflectors?

Tigger.

PS: Thanks, the pillars arrived this morning, just after we'd spoken!

Seems a bit silly to go to all that trouble and then stick a standard bulb in the reverse light

I can see most people ordering a set of LED reverse lights off of you Mikey. Best get stocked up now
