Has anyone fitted Mini Accessory LED DRLs to their F56? It looks like a simple job to fit after removing the inspection covers used for bulb replacement in the wheelarches and using the existing wiring and connectors.

Parts price from Mini is £200 (or less if discounted) yet Mini want £220 + for fitting them making a total of £420.00. Apparently they require coding with a K code. Does anyone know how difficult or long coding takes?

Have a search on here....
There is a thread with a guide to installing.....it isn't that simple I'm afraid.

Thanks, Ive had a look but cant find a thread or guide to installing. Has anyone got a link?

Just to make it clear its the DRL/Sidelight/Fogights im considering replacing as there are threads on LED Headlights but cant find any on LED DRLs

Sorry, thread was in another forum,
Its for the R56 but the principle is exactly the same...

Also, you can see here, the job took Mini themselves 3.5 hours!

Thanks Andy, Great link. As you said not a simple job. The LED DRL kits can be bought from Mini dealers discounted to £160 on ebay.
I think I will get Newministuff who are auto electricians to give me a quote for fitting as I dont want to pay BMW price of £420 fitted.

I don't know why Mini don't fit them as standard or part of the Chilli pack as many cheaper cars have LED DRLs as standard!

The biggest issue will be removing the bumper and having to strip down a lot of trim to remove the battery.
