Have a look in my gallery - I;ve got the factory ones fitted on my MC and ordered them again on my MCS (due soon!). Personally I think they look great, although four would be cooler

You can check miniusa.com for prices, but I believe they are 400.

There are lots of aftermarket options which are substantially cheaper. Remember, $400 clams is NOT installed. You need to either do that yourself, or pay for it.

I'm giving thought to 4 also. Kinda neat.

Have just ordered Quad Spots from Minisport.com.

They are £230 and I believe don't require activating at a dealer.

I will post photos when I have them fitted.

Here are the quad spots from Minisport.com.

Took about two and a half hours to fit but it is fairly straight forward - instructions are comprehensive.

Just need tp wire them in which doesn't look hard, just need to make a connection to the high beam wire.

Hope this helps.

No they don't need dealer activation, just a connection to the high beam wire. Comes with a fused loom and all the gromets etc for making a nice neat job.

Not sure about the shipping to US, check out

Well I would say about a 6, the instructions are very good and if you have decent tools (including a drill and torx screw driver) then you will be ok. I used a dremel for removing the internal bumper lip to allow smooth fitting of the bar, much better than a hacksaw and neater. Needs a hole drilled into the back of the metal bumper support so a good drill is needed ( you remove the support to drill it not drill it on the car).

Hope this helps.
