    The DRL's are inside the headlight. The sidelights on One to Cooper S cars are down the bottom of the bumper similar to R56. However JCW cars don't have this and only have the DRL's inside the headlight as this space is used for additional cooling

    Thats what i thought. I was a bit confused when kyle aiad it had sidelights. I knew the jcw had an oil cooler instead of fog lights was sure if they had relocated the sidelights or just removed them

    Just removed them. I would assume though that if you where to remove the unit to go for the JCW look that you would get an error warning coming up

    The guy i found on instagram had his sidelights and fog lights coded out to stop the error message. Just not sure how the mot would be affected need to speak to my dad he manages a garage.

    The F56 JCW does have sidelights, they just dim the DRLs

    My guess would be sidelights are a requirement. I suppose you could relocate them to inside the headlight unit.
