LED Sidelights & Number Plate lights

[scotty01]

usually just twist and pull, however mines had corroded so I had to take mines to a garage and they had to use grease to get it out yours might be the same.

Hi guys

We have a 2009 Mini convertable in Chlli red.

I have just changed the rather yellow side lights for these great LED's.
They just go perfectly with the xeons that we have.
See the difference!

Yes the LEDs colour looks great.
I also did the same, plus added these special DRL strip LEDs that sit inside the gap between the bumper and bonnet.
Combination of both avoid canbus error or need of load resistor.

Are/is there any tips / easy way to this?

You have to remove the bulb housing and then just pull the bulb out

If that's the case, for better access remove the front wheel, pull off the power connector, then as advised in previous posting twist the connector base about 90 degrees (may require some pliers) then it's a matter of giggling the item out, being carefull not to dislodge bulb and drop it into the light housing. Grease O ring and shoulder before re-installing.

With my countryman, when my side lights come on when unlocking they gradually light up. Would this not happen with led's?? Cheers.
