All About LEDs

We love LED's! We think they really accent the stylish interior of the MINI Cooper. They do take some special care and feeding, though. Please read this before installing LED bulbs.

  • LED's are sensitive to over-voltage. Make sure your LED lamps are switched OFF when you start the car, or when you do any kind of jump-starting or external charging of the battery.
  • LED's don't like heat. Do not expose them to the heat of incandescent bulbs, or any other high heat source.
  • LED's have polarity. If your LED's don't light up the first time, reverse and re-install them.
  • Some LED bulbs have small wires for contact points. You may have to reposition these bulbs in the factory housing to make electrical contact.
  • Remove and replace one LED bulb at a time, and test each bulb before continuing to make diagnosing non-lighting bulbs easier.
  • Handle LED bulbs by the base only. Try not to touch the LED itself; you can damage delicate electrical connections in the LED unit.

We sell a complete selection of LED interior kits for your MINI.
