Can I fit brighter bulbs to the reversing light on my Cooper S, or, can anyone recommend a suitable reversing light.
I am old enough to remember the original mini's with a rear fitting spotlight fitted to the boot lid, those were the days.!!!!!!!!
I had a 1071cc S as the team Broadspeed cars -- sorry to go on !!

Hello - welcome to Mini2

I found the reverse light terrible on my Mini so as I have the clear rear lights fitting I converted the wiring so I have 2 reverse lights in the rear lights and 1 fog where the reverse light was
Much better

So you haven't invalidated your warranty by doing that then?
Or perhaps they just don't know about it?

Showed my dealer they liked it along with my other mods.
They spent more time playing with the car than working on it
