Hey, Look whilst at halfords today for some bits and see they don't have any bulbs/leds for 04 mini cooper - centre break lights (stip at top of boot) - are these easily done or do you need to get a hold of the whole strip themselves? if so any ideas on cost etc?

thanks

They come as a whole unit around 50 quid ish for a genuine MINI part.

I have an extra center brake light with a cracked red lens and with the silvering on the plastic that surrounds the LED's coming off. However, it is in perfect shape electronically. If you are needing LED's to fix yours or think maybe the circuit board is bad you might want to try making one good unit using my electronics and your case/lens. Little plastic tabs are melted a bit to hold the circuit board in place; it looks like snapping them off and using a bit of glue to hold the board on would work.

If you are interested I can send you a picture of this light to show that it is in working order. It's yours for the shipping cost.
