    you could do it to R55 so I would think it is possible, will need to be virginised by your local mini dealer!

    You can do it but it requires electrical upgrades and also upgrade the washer system as you require washer by law with xenons.

    By time you factor these modifications along with the units its usually very costly

    From Factory JCW to Audi TT Quattro - Might be back one day!

    Yeah, wot Baz said.

    However, you could simply install a hid kit. Relatively inexpensive but without the headlight washers would probably be illegal.

    I think its the self levelling function that's required with HID's to make them legal. No doupt KenL will be along shortly to keep us all right

    Asked a dealer this very Q ie how much for Xenon's onto a non-Xenon R56
    Forget the exact figure but it was over £2000. I think in the region of £2.2k
    Shall wait for my next MINI
