BMW Mini headlights

Post by v8 wanted »

Has anyone fitted the above to their Stylus ? Every time i see a parked Mini I look at that big chrome oval and think they would look right on a Stylus.

My Porsche / beetle units are looking shabby, the internal seal are perished and hanging down, the empty sidelight socket has been eating away at me for 3 years - now could be the time to make the change.

Only concern is , will the mini ones fit ?

I used the H4 Headlight purchased from a 911 breakers yard. They come with either chrome or painted . They might fit as a direct replacement otherwise you will need to fabricate clips etc. to attach them. There is a post re the mini headlights saying they are not square on so fitting could be not that straightforward.

I remember a blue Stylus at our Llandow trackday having VW Lupo , obviously they didn't just drop straight in , he'd obviously done a little bonding work but they looked brilliant and very modern.
I just love the Stylus but she keeps swallowing £££ !

Thanks Rob, that'll be me with the Lupo lights.

Having had other kit cars and TVRs with Mini headlights modern was the only option for the stylus:

Jeremy P was talking about the original spec Stylus headlights today while we were all at Donnington , so I've posted him with this page of your lights , as I did bring the subject up with him today.
