originaly bought as replacements for another car that turned out didn't fit, so I fitted them to the Mini instead. Also fitted with super bright led bulbs.

Haha thanks dude. Luckily they hang no lower than a standard number plate would, and sit level with the front valance so shouldn't be too much of a problem at the mo, as the front end is a tad high anyways. May become a problem when it's restored on 10x6's and a weeee bit lower though haha!

ebay i got my spotlights from , there cibie oscar +'s , the brackets were a home made item i brought of a member in my local club , i do keep meaning getting some measurements and pictures to put on here , as for everything else , i had 2 relays when running that setup , 1 for top 1 for bottom , think i used 20 amp relays incase i wanted 100w bulbs, 2 in line fuses , 20 amp cable , to firgue out what power you need have your overall wattage , for example 2 headlights with 2 spotlight is 230w then you divide your overall by the voltage so 230 divide by 12 will give you the amps so 230/12=19.66

12" and i think either 5 or 5.5" wide

cheers for the compliment :) , im rebuilding it atm (engines going in tonight ;) )

I'm having two spotlights, and two tiny fog lights under the bumper. 

Four spots looks a little crowded, but I think it depends on the car.

cool thanks ! ... what size are them spots and what (if ya dont mind me asking) sort of price range would you expect I would be looking at for 4 spots of that sort ? Ive been looking on ebay and they seem to be mostly going for £100 per light in some instances,... perhaps a pair for £130 ... is that right ?

[Black.Ghost]

If you are adding spots it should be four or none. Having two just looks... incomplete.

I disagree! I think two on the early Rover Coopers looks really good, and sometimes looks better than having the four. Having said that, when mine is redone, there will be 4 going on instead of the 2 standard ones!!

[majorj0nny]

oh also - 4 standard spot lights or 2 spots 2 fogs ? whats everyones opinion ?
