And I'm well chugged I managed to do some mod ding all on my own, without my hand being held, or me looking over someones shoulder pretending to be interested in how it's done.
Thanks again everyone.

Good job! So... next? Changing wiper blades?

Or maybe topping up the washer bottle

Well Done! Wiper blades and aerials and thats about it with me so I know what its like.
Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!
Well done MrP everyones gotta start somewhere
So is it worth getting these bulbs then? just that I fancy some but not seen any on any cars yet so dont know what they're like in the flesh... and how much are they?
Ally the bulbs were a tenner so not too much cash. Whether they are worth getting depends on what your looking for. since the mini was new we changed the stock bulbs for whiter ones, and I thought they were led. But it turns out they weren't, they were normal bulbs which gave a whiter glow than the stock ones which look very yellow IMHO. However, these side lights look very blue to me and I'm just waiting on the plod pulling me over for illegal sidelights. So I may get some replacement bulbs ready to go in just in case I'm pulled. Lenore doesnt think they look bad enough for us to be pulled over, and I have to admit I've seen some bloody awful bright blue bulbs in cars and they never seem to get pulled over so I guess I may be worrying about nothing. I doubt I would pass an mot with these bulbs in. To be honest the exercise was intended to match the bright White colour of the xenons in the headlights, but they are nit even close. They look more like the blue colour of the cheap aftermarket xenons you can buy.
I'll try and take some piccies of the car tonight or tomorrow night and post up.
