No idea which lights are best but they are easy to wire up. You'll need a live feed (preferably live when ignition on but not 100% essential) and a relay. Use one of the lives going to the full beam to switch the relay and the feed to the spots via the relay.

I have the wipacs, stanless steel ones so they shouldn't rust. Easy to fit if you know your way round wiring (that's what my big bro if for!! 
) Look round the directory adverts on here. Can't remember where I got them from, but it was from one of the advertisers. Think they're all over ebay too.
You do need to drill through the innter skin of the bonnet though, so be carefull!!
Hope that helps a bit..

Haha. Nice. Thanks for the reply.Easy
I might have to look into this further .. and perhaps find out how much it would cost to send it all the way to Perth, Western Australia.
I know they're not favoured by everyone but i installed the minisport lamp bar kit. cost around £200 and came with instructions, all wiring, 4 spots and the bar.
I'm pretty much a complete novice when it comes to mechanics but wasn't beyond me to fit it myself, apart from a little duck tape here and there

the bar attaches to the bumper mounting points and to the back of the bumper brace bar, so there is quite a bit of fitting compared to what i imagine there is in other systems, had to remove the bumper and brace bar but nothing a torque wrench couln't manage (once i'd dusted it off!)
wires run through the edge of the engine bay, relay sits at the back and then a wire follows the headlamp wires to the back of the left headlight unit, where i just spliced it into the full beam wire. all in all took about 6hrs over 2 days, but like i said it was the first time i'd done anything like this
so i took it slow

Ive got a pair of Hella Comet 200 spots, they are designed for the MINI with sturdy brackets that fit nice and easy with no drilling required or bumper removal, they came with all instructions and wiring etc. The bodies are chrome dipped plastic so no chance of rusting as others do. They were a little xmas pressie to the MIN BIN last year £130 all in.
Highly recommended!
