This is my first post so go easy on me if this is a stupid question BUT here goes...

I'm hopefully a couple of weeks away from getting my Chili Red/White Roof Cooper S

. It was originally an ex-demo for Sytner and then had one caring (I hope!) owner for nearly 5 years. Sytner says the owner traded it in for a 2nd gen MCS. As an ex-demo it has everything option wise except AUTO LIGHTS, which the dealer tells me wasn't even an option in 2003.

My question is, I'm swapping my Smart Roadster for it, and my roadster was a pre-reg with lots of toys and I've got used to auto lights and wipers etc. Can auto lights be retrofitted by a specialist? Or am I being just plain lazy?

Great forums BTW - a great resource for newbies.

Auto headlights became available on facelift MINI's (2005 model year onwards). I have a US spec R53 S which was ordered with the "Convenience package" and that includes the automatic headlights.
