Hey everyone i got an idea awhile back for an "oem look" euro style taillight after not being able to find them anywhere, i've been told the oem versions have been discontinued. if I'm able to replicate these taillights would anyone be interested in buying them? here's a picture of what they might look like*(not my picture just using it as a reference to what the oem euro tails look like)*. price will be around $200 shipped for a set of new taillights. check it out!
The one pictured is only for 02-04, but MINI also made a version for 05+. They are still available from European vendors, about $300-$350 shipped (also includes white 3rd brake light). http://www.newministuff.com/new/shop.php?action=productshow&id=314 http://www.minigenuineparts.co.uk/mini-parts/info_BM63_21_0_150_980.html 05+ style: http://www.newministuff.com/new/shop.php?action=productshow&id=184
Yes, but for it to look completely white when the bulb is off, you need to use an silvered bulb (same as the front turn signals). The white turn lens taillight was a factory option in Europe, but in the US it was only available as an accessory part sold by the dealer.
