    I just purchased a set of Mini OEM LED fog lights from my dealer today eta is mid-next week; pricey but worth it imho.
    Question: has anyone replaced their fog lights on a 2014 R58 before and if you did can I replace these as a diy project? I've been checking youtube, can't located a video on my specific year and model. I'm hoping I can remove the old and install the new through the opening located in the front portion of the fender wells; I assume this was place mainly to replace the parking/fog light bulbs. Appreciate any and all info.

    I'm assuming it's pretty straight forward. I've ordered a set of aftermarket ones for my R56, which should be arriving soon. I'll let you know how it goes.

    Oh, and Welcome!

    if your talking about just the bulbs it looks easy.

    Are these the lights with the halo daytime running lights? Installation is not a simple swap — it is somewhat involved and requires adding and modifying wiring.

    Here are installation instructions (ask your dealer for the latest document): https://bd8ba3c866c8cbc330ab-7b26c6f3e01bf511d4da3315c66902d6.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/MINI_LED_DRL.pdf

    Here is a guide to installing them: http://www.totalmini.com/forum/18-2006-2014-2nd-generation/1319-2nd-gen-drl-fitting-guide.html

    Zapski: Please keep me posted on your installation.
    MCS02: I'm replacing the entire light not just bulbs but thank you for the info you provided.
    rkw: yes these are the led drl/parking/fog light kit offered by Mini and thank you for the detail instructions. I'm thinking this is beyond a diy project for a novice mechanic as myself, not to mention the specialty tools required to undertake this project. I also have a call out to my dealer requesting a quote on installation.

    Mahalo all, speeedww
