GP wheel arch light connection kit

[mikeythemini]

Gp Minis come with the USA style wheel arch lights, but UK spec ones don't light up (they do have bulbs in them).
I now have a kit which comprises of the correct plugs, pins with waterproof seals & a short length of wire all built up ready to plug into your arches. It is then just a matter of running the cables to the nearest sidelight in each corner & spliceing the wires in.

I don't know what the legal aspect of side marker lights are in the UK but I know I have seen later BMWs & Volvos with them

I know Volvo S40's have had orange lights on the side since launch, and there was a big hate for them at first, because people mistook them for indicators at a glance.
Personally, I think they would look cool lit up! And I doubt there will be a problem legally!

The new 5 series has them and it looks really cool!

mikey, can you get these in black or clear?
just wanted to lose them on my GP
thanks
matt

[mikeythemini]

Nope - havn't found a decent supplier

[mattyc]

there's a guy on ebay Germany that sells clear ones but i'd kinda like a smoked version

[S33BBY]

You could always smoke them yourself I guess.

[BRMCooper]

ive just fitted this kit to my GP it was VERY easy, quick and painless!

ill post pics of it in the dark but im very impressed with newministuff fantastic company!

[mattyc]

i have these too- would like however to lose them in the arch by painting them black but still retain the light function at night

[M.O.S]

Have there been any developments as to whether the kit is legal or not? Just wondered whether the back ones were legal with them being red? I know the fronts are legal, but not too sure about the backs. However I think they look cool lit up, and am considering doing it to mine at some point

[mattyc]

i've had these on my GP for over a year now and have never been stopped by the Police for them

[Joogle]

I had this done by Mikey on the GP and never had any problems. (Looks fantastic!)

The rear lights are orange just like the fronts and if they were illegal why do so many Volvo's come with them as standard? Another thing to consider is that the factory fit aerokit on the R56 includes these as well and im 99% certain they were illuminated on the loaner I had.

Planning a trip to see Mikey about getting the JCW kitted out with these!
