Problem with the lighting and warning light on Mini Cabrio Diesel 2017 - experience and solutions wanted

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2015 Mini Clubman Diesel. I'm not a master mechanic, but I do have a bit of experience. At my garage, they said the cable connection to the lamp was faulty, not the glow agent. After a repair for 180 euros, everything ran smoothly again. Have you ever checked the condition of your cables? It also depends directly on the model and exact year of manufacture, can you provide more information about your car?

Hey, thanks for the tip about the cable connection! I already have 41005 km on the clock and the last service was recently, so I don't think it's the condition of the cables. But I will definitely have a look. It seems to be a more common thing with the Minis... Thanks again for the help!

Hey, no problem! Yes, these lighting problems do seem to occur more frequently with minis. But it's good that you're already taking a look. Maybe the service department has overlooked something. With my old Mini, there were always minor problems too. In the end, however, it was always just a minor issue that could be fixed quite quickly in the workshop, such as the issue with the defective cables. If it really is the glow agent, then you can replace it yourself quite easily and cheaply. Good luck with that!

You're right, maybe the service department has overlooked something. I will try to replace the glow agent myself first before I consider an expensive repair in the workshop. Your experience has really helped me, thank you very much! It's really cool that there are such helpful people like you. Stay healthy and have a good trip with your Mini!

lGood afternoon. Does anyone know if there is any way to upgrade the alogen high beam with led bulbs for a mini cupper R56 1 6 D ? What type of led or cambus cancellers I have to mount so that no error of fused bulb and not to produce flashes to understand them ...?

(Translated from Spanish)

To upgrade your halogen high beams to LED on a Mini Cooper R56, you'll need LED bulbs that are compatible with your car's socket type, typically H7 for high beams. Additionally, to avoid error messages or flickering, you should use CANbus-compatible LED bulbs or install a separate CANbus decoder. Make sure the LED bulbs are designed for automotive use to ensure proper beam pattern and brightness. After installation, check the alignment to avoid dazzling other drivers. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
