Looking around the web some some new, interesting parts for a MINI Countryman, we stumbled upon a rather interesting little part, that made us curious.
We're talking about a set of LED Daytime Running Lights that fit perfectly on any MINI model, not just the Countryman. They cost £297 ($452 €349), are OEM (as the site claims) and will only take 1 and a half hour to install.
Judging by the only available photo, they look pretty cool, but until we see them fitted on a car, we can't really be certain of anything. Since they are installed in the fog light housings (replacing them) it will be interesting to see how they cope with actual fog.
The LED light is not very useful on times of great dampening and we're not really sure if the new part comes with integrated yellow bulbs that are helpful on adverse weather conditions.
For the moment we're not sure if these new lights will disable the fog lights permanently. According to a forum member, his BMW contact says that you will lose the fog light effect since the LED device is brighter. That means that there is a yellow bulb inside the projector but it will be useless once the corona lights are on.
Either way, in case you want to test them out and let us know how they work, the part number is 63 12 2 338 554 and you can order them here.
