I have looked at driving lights for my 2009 Clubman S, but can only find PIAA that are for model year up to 2008. I want driving lights, mostly for looks. Are there any you can suggest that are not so expensive? I may not even hook them up initially.
I have the Hella 500's. Tire rack has them or you can get them, with the mounting hardware, from VIP. Jim
You can get the Hella 500's and others, as well as the mounting bar, at Outmotoring. They are listed in the Sponsor's section.
I bought my mounting kit for my R53 from Outmotoring. The mount is a very nice piece of kit. I'm using Hella 500 driving lights too.
Piaa 510s on my 09 using Outmotoring/OEM brackets and Grill. Mounting brackets had to be filed a couple of millimeters to allow the light brackets to fit. That process took just a few minutes. I used the OEm wiring harness, but I could have just as easily used the PIAA set -- I should have -- I would have saved a bunch of bucks. No difference in quality. The PIAAs put out a very strong beam. I'm very happy with them.
Are you running the PIAA's in addition to the Xenon's or do you have the standard MINI headlights? (think thats a option) I was on the Dragon and Hell Bender a couple weeks back and the Xenon's were lighting things up nicely, for me. Course my "lit up nicely" may not suit your needs Just curious
