Hello everyone, first of all merry christmas!!

Can anyone help me find the indicator light / sidelights for my car?

They look like this:

Also if you have some fitted already, could you post pics of them so I could see what they look like?

Thanks very much everyone!

We are out of stock of them as the suppliers closed very early for xmas so didnt send my order
We will have fresh stock on the 3rd

I have checked out the web site. There are some nice things on there, but the £64.63 price tag is a bit expensive like everything else on the web site

The cheapest I have found them for are £49 Delivered.

Mikey, can you please tell me if you have any other nice mods which you think will go well for a black and chrome themed Mini?

Cheers!

Be careful fitted them I broke one of the mounting brackets of mine. Had to use alot to Duct tape.

scottp7 · Dec 26th, 2007, 05:18 PM

have you got any pics of them working hugo?

Ramon · Dec 26th, 2007, 07:09 PM

Here you are, I got these from LOHEN

scottp7 · Dec 27th, 2007, 02:52 PM

that looks cool!

Just purchased some this morning for £45 delivered. Will be posting some pics soon when fitted

Brayster · Dec 27th, 2007, 02:57 PM

Where did you get them from for that price?

I'd be interested in some for that.

scottp7 · Dec 27th, 2007, 03:10 PM

ebay. It was a best offer of £41 and he accepted it. The item number is: 300185289155

Brayster · Dec 27th, 2007, 04:21 PM

Just seen a thread saying that alot of people have failed their MOT due to Halos? Did you see this?

Thought they look really good but not so sure now .

scottp7 · Dec 27th, 2007, 05:04 PM

i have just had a look on google and people are saying that it will fail the MOT if they have a slight blue coloured look. Would that mean that just a change of bulb would be needed?

Brayster · Dec 27th, 2007, 05:14 PM

Not sure the thread I read said not all have been failed but the ones that did had to put the stock lights back - so I would suggest not selling them just incase.
My xenons look blue anyway?

scottp7 · Dec 27th, 2007, 05:27 PM

I have just found this from an online retailer and seems to be the general response:

"only white bulbs are the legal colour for the front side lights"

Hopefully the lights I just purchased are going to be white or else I am going to have to pay £12 for white bulbs

Ramon · Dec 27th, 2007, 09:20 PM

Halos dont use bulbs; they use LEDs!

Lawrothegreat · Dec 27th, 2007, 09:49 PM

Audi and Saab have started to use LEDs on the front of their cars, so there must be a legal option?

scottp7 · Jan 7th, 2008, 02:41 PM

hi everyone, im back with the results! I have fitted the sidelights but it hasn't been dark yet for me to take a pic in the dark. I think I will get arouond to that when I get my girlfriends digital camera.

Here it is:

Sorry about the bird crap on the bonnet as well

needs to have a clean

Its in desperate need of some new colour indicator bulbs, they look a bit like fried eggs at the moment but I have got some silver ones on order
