I dont think I have seen a BMW set in V Good condition , they are normally rusted within the first few months

All BMW ones should be on recall for the rusting problem (please confirm minime) as i'm waiting to have 4 spots fitted :evil:
If you are looking for a long term solution then i would suggest you fit aftermarket ones.
Mike at newministuff sells them, not sure about 4, but, if you get the bracket then you can install your own :)

The last solution I saw from a dealer for the rusting spot lamps problem was coating them in a waxoyl type solution - wasnt pretty. Hope they have come up with a better solution now

As Bonnie says Mikey does 2 kits

Hella Kit with standard brackets (https://www.newministuff.com/new/shop.php?action=productshow&id=191)

or

Custom Hella Kit (https://www.newministuff.com/new/shop.php?action=productshow&id=79)

Mikey will answer any questions you may have about adapting the kit for a Cooper S (if it is for your road car Mart) and fitting 4 rather than 2 lamps.

Those guys who have the spots fitted to their mini (Mart I know you are one), did you fit them yourself?

I was going to get BMW ones to ensure fitting from the garage. But I was aware of the corrosion problem, hence reason why i havent bought them.

[MartinSullivan]

I fitted mine myself, they are just tapped into the main wiring loom. I have a copy of the instructions somewhere, if I can find them Ill scan them in and email them to you - will at least give you an idea of whats involved

I fitted mine also, they are just connected to the battery with a switching relay on the main beam. Easy!

[T6 KFR]

sounds easy then....although guys:I I am colour blind!!!!

I should cope though;)

[MartinSullivan]

Its pretty straightforward - Ill send the instructions through on Monday if you want a look

Are the 4-lamps on the bar supplied by MiniSport any good?

[redpoint rallying]

Thanks folks,

I had heard that the Mini supplied items were a bit sub standard but not to the extent experienced here. Will look into aftermarket ones.

thanks for the info.
