Vland LED Projector headlight install R55-R59 Mini Cooper S

In today’s video we install the Vland LED DRL Projector Headlights on my girlfriend’s 2011 Mini Cooper S Hardtop that originally came with halogen headlights. These headlights were priced around $600ish, and I feel that’s a decent deal for a good projector headlight. I highly recommend these lights, the cutoff beam is kinda trippy with how sharp it is, but definitely amazing lights! So sharp, so stunning!
Here’s my affiliate link to purchase these headlights. The price is the same as normal, theoretically I get a small percentage of the price. Haven’t really tested it yet, but if it works it helps go towards future videos

I just got these headlights for my wife’s 2007 r56. You are the 1st how to video that popped up when I searched. I realized while watching you road test your lights that you are driving in my neighborhood! How cool is that! Anyways idk if your around that neighborhood anymore, but we live right by the Sprouts market there😊 Thanks for the info. I’ll have to watch a couple more to get that confidence up enough to try.

[@zevisgarage]

I’ll just say I live very close to there! If you need help with the install let me know and I’ll gladly help!

[@hectorpulido7269]

Brother you saved my life and helped me do an easy installation, thank you!

[@zevisgarage]

Cheers!

[@stranacoppia]

[@jhartwells]

Do you have a link to the Angel eye fog lights?

[@ivlog3663]

Best video!!! Will but then bc of you!

I have a 2010, to get it to stop having the halo’s on until you lock the car in did the following. The little harnesses that runs to the factory DRL‘s. I cut the plugs off and connected the red wires to the red wire that comes off the little black box. Then i used a tap a fuse and ran it off the F6 fuse in the engine bay fuse box. Only need to connect the ground wire for the black box. Now the halo’s shut off about 20 seconds after you shut off the car.

[@zevisgarage]

Good to know! I have been meaning to modify it

[@torbenfunch9937]

Hi Just installed these lights. Does yours turn off the white led ring after a while if you don't lock the doors? Mine doesn't unless i unplug the fuse for the module but then the welcome white led is hard on and not running...

[@zevisgarage]

Yes you have to lock the door for them to turn off. I’d have to check but I have a write up saved of how you are supposed to wire the led ring to a different power source then the fusebox power

[@incognitoergosum7418]

How did you adjust the height on these? Mine are too low.

[@zevisgarage]

There are adjuster screws on them

[@user-es3lq3qp7b]

how did you solve it, to make the lights go out once the car was turned off? Thank you

[@zevisgarage]

The car actually ended up deciding to start turning them off when the door is opened, just took a short bit. Also, although the led rings are bright, they don’t consume much energy. Accidentally left the lights on for around 2-3 hours and the car still started fine

[@alessandrotacconi1873]

Thanks

[@tsubakiboii]

would these work with factory xenons? im just video hopping to find this out

[@zevisgarage]

In theory it should. I can do a little test to see if you’d like

[@tsubakiboii]

@@zevisgarage that would be nice of you!! please 🙏 ❤️

Will this work with stock jet washer or they need to be deleted?

[@zevisgarage]

These are intended for halogen swap, only Xenons have the washer. These will work, you will probably be able to fit them I imagine

[@xyithan9128]

I just bought these (but the version for my r60 countryman). I’m hoping they’ll fit with my oem xenon lights

[@zevisgarage]

Let me know how bright they are compared to the factory Xenon’s!

[@zevisgarage]

You have an instagram? I’m kinda tempted to get them but want to see how they look first

[@xyithan9128]

@@zevisgarage I do have a car insta. I haven’t gotten the lights yet tho

[@user-mz7gb8gv9u]

They did leave you a bulb out indicator light on your display?

[@zevisgarage]

Nope, no warning lights

[@gleung91]

I have DRL enabled--I didn't realize this would just turn on low beam lights at all times. Is there a way around it?

[@zevisgarage]

That’s how it is with all lights including the factory xenon’s. Are you looking to have just halo on but no low beam bulb?

[@gleung91]

Yes! Is that possible?

[@zevisgarage]

@@gleung91 it should be, let me see if I can play with it

[@gleung91]

Appreciate it! Driving me a bit crazy bc my lever has not effect on headlight since headlight is on all the time now. Would like to control it. If it's not possible, I'll turn off drl 😢

[@zevisgarage]

@@gleung91 turn off DRL setting in the BC menu and it should allow the ring to stay on alone

[@TypsieDesigns]

What part of Cali are you in? You interested in selling the halogens?

[@zevisgarage]

Yes selling the halogens. I have three pairs currently lol. I’m in 90041 Los Angeles

[@kittleeagle]

Want to install mine lol @@zevisgarage

[@phala_fala]

Homie driving up to Franklin

[@zhanandryan2277]

And The old one I got it lol but I fix it looks like brand new

[@zevisgarage]

The halogens just don’t have the light output I want

[@steve75112]

Id be concerned about the reliability of non OEM headlights they do look goof tho

[@zevisgarage]

I always feel the same, in the case of these I’d rather replace them after a few years than deal with OEM halogens

[@LynxStarAuto]

Bro so how do you get away with no cats and stuff like that in Cali? Don't the police pull you over and Rodney King you for a cat-less down pipe? 😂

[@zevisgarage]

The internet can be kinda dramatic about that. It’s not bad, you just gotta have a smog guy or revert the car back to stock. You won’t really get pulled over unless you have a clapped out straight pipe 350z missing bumpers. Don’t be too loud, don’t be stupid and you will mostly be fine I did get a modified exhaust ticket like 2 weeks after buying my green countryman with a loud exhaust. No state ref or anything fortunately
