DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THAT KIT COMES WITH THE MOUNTING BRACKETS?

IF NOT HOW DO I FIND THE MOUNTING BRACKETS FOR MY CAR, ALL THE ONES I SEE ON HERE SAY THEYRE NOT FOR MY CAR(?) HELP!

I HAVE A 13' MINI COOPER COVERTIBLE - AUTOMATIC

The lighting kit does not include brackets, but you can find them here. Select the convertible, cooper or cooper S.

Welcome to the forum!

Truth is, Jesse, that Side By Side was probably completely joking with you (although reading in all caps is pretty annoying), but you're new and probably don't know that this place is full of people that like to have a little fun. Your response will surely gain you a less joking response though. It's going to be hard to understand you calling someone immature while your third post on the forum is implying that all your help is from smartasses. We're just having a little fun with you. I'm sure you can understand trying to have a little joke about the all caps? This is just my advice though. Either way, I'll try to give you my help on your question.

As for your 13 foot Mini, I'm really of no help and neither will a lot of the guys on here. This is mostly a classic mini forum even though it is definitely open to all Mk's. You'll probably be better served asking the question over there on NorthAmericanMotoring. Higher density of BINI owners and they may know your answer. If not, well hopefully one of the few mixed in here can help. Or you could try calling the host of the website directly.

Either way, Good luck and thanks for killing the CAPS!

Jesadelle sorry about that. It's easy - on your car the Hella 500 mounts by first drilling through the center of the hood. Do two 1/2" holes about 24" from the front. In the Monte Carlo race your car was in, they aimed the lights back toward the windshield so the light bounces off it - if you want strict authenticity.

Then take it to the dealer and they can screw them right in. They have the special "socket wrench" tool. For electrical, just leave the wires hanging very close to the fan, and it works via induction.
