So assuming one has a F55/F56 and has NOT ordered the LED headlights, do the cars come with DRLs in the fog light position? If so then these £375 LED fog light replacements are purely a cosmetic thing?

The advert for these is very deceptive as it looks like it's advertising the LED headlights! I have found breakers selling LED headlights for the F55/6 on Ebay but not sure if they can be fitted to Minis specced with the standard halogen lights.

I'm sure it's possible to fit the LED headlamps with a mod to the wiring to get the DRL feed to the headlamp and a bit of coding. It's on my list to try and do.

Very interested in seeing how this goes! (sorry, off topic!)

If these are F56-sized versions of the R56 LED DRL/side/fogs, then it is misleading that Mini are advertising them with a photo of a LED-headlight F56 with the DRL/Side/foglights cropped off.

I'm sure they are not intentionally trying to mislead people into thinking these are a retrofit of the horseshoe LED DRLs on LED-equipped cars, but it's not far off..........

My thoughts exactly. I'm going to the dealer to sign my finance docs in the morning so will clarify this with him.
