Professional MINI installers in Boston area?

I was wondering if there are any reputable body shops that specialize in MINIs in the area that are capable of installing driving lamps, and have them be independent of the main lights. Since it seems that the MINI dealers can only install these lamps such that the can only be on when the high beams are on, I wanted to have them installed so their toggle is completely independent.

Thanks!

Sometimes this is mandated by state law, so you'll want to check this first, or the car may not pass inspection if you have vehicle inspections in your state.

Id imagine that there are other MA natives who want or have their lamps installed this way though.

Sublime is the recommended mini-specializing body shop.

The OEM driving lights don't actually have a toggle, they're controlled by the mini's computer, and that switch is more a secondary activation.

However, Ian makes a Rally Light Relay that makes them much better, automatically enabling them every time you start the car, and allowing you to manually toggle them as well. (I hope you still offer that, Ian)

Revs, they're the #1 replacement for displacement
