Installation: MINI Cooper (R50 / R52 / R53)
On the R50, R52 and R53 MINI, each headlight is mounted in the hood (bonnet), so you can change it without taking off the bumper. Professional installation and beam aiming are recommended. Turn off the lights and ignition and disconnect the negative battery cable before you start.
- Open the hood fully so you can reach the back of each headlight, which is mounted in the hood itself.
- Unplug the electrical connector from the back of the headlight. Do not pull on the wiring.
- Remove the mounting bolts that hold the headlight to the hood, then ease the assembly forward and out of the hood.
- Fit the new headlight into the hood opening, start and tighten the mounting bolts, and plug in the connector. Repeat on the other side.
- Reconnect the battery, test the low beam, high beam and turn signals, and aim the lamps on a level surface before night driving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which vehicles do these headlights fit?
2005-2006 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Hardtop (R50 / R53) and 2005-2008 Cooper and Cooper S Convertible (R52), with factory halogen headlights. They do not fit the 2007+ Hardtop (R56), the Clubman, or cars with Xenon headlights or headlight washers. Compare your current lamps with our photos before ordering.
Are these a pair or a single lamp?
This is a complete driver and passenger pair, not a single-side lamp.
Do they include bulbs?
Yes. Halogen bulbs are included for both assemblies.
Do I need to cut or splice any wiring?
No. Each lamp plugs into the factory headlight connector.
How are they installed on a 2005-2006 MINI Cooper / Cooper S Hardtop and 2005-2008 Convertible?
The headlights on this MINI are mounted in the hood. Open the hood, unplug the connector, remove the mounting bolts, and pull the lamp out forward. No bumper removal is needed. Fit the new lamp the same way and aim it before night driving.
