http://www.moss-euro...375&SortOrder=1 this is a relay kit moss do for your headlight :)
Ok, so that's for the headlights, will I need another of the same kit for my spots?
The standard brackets won't be up to the job and the lights wil be too deep to fit onto them.
The bracket in the photo is the one I always make up. I use a 2.5" wide x 1/4" thick aluminium strip with 16 swg (1.5 mm) brackets. The lamps are steadied by opened out jubilee clips which go onto the front panel. The centre bracket is 1" wide and goes right down onto the front panel behind the sump guard for extra support.
The lights have 100 w bulbs, as do the headlights (100/80 watt). Use white bulbs not blue, as some people find the blue tinge can make it difficult to define the green banks and road edges and in snow they are not good either.
When you get more into it you'll probably find you need a sump guard and the lines running inside the car.
Glad someone else is joining the 'rally clan' on here. Good luck with it.
That's good advice, thankyou! Yeah I'm seeing it as the cheapest way for me to get my fix!
Just ring the insurance company and say you would like to upgrade your lights as this us 2012 and your lights are 80's technology. Same configuration, just modern equivalents. Don't mention rallies, you are doing it (quite rightly ) because a mini's lights are rubbish and it us a safety thing. I doubt they will even sweat about it. Then buy some of those MONSTERS Cooperman has!
Yeah, I will try that, giving it to them with the cup half full! haha
Cheers All!
