2007–2014 · Left & Right Available · Lebanon
The MINI R56 was offered with two headlight specifications: standard halogen projector units and the optional bi-xenon headlights with Adaptive Front Lighting (AFS). The xenon units are highly sought-after for both their superior light output and the distinctive daytime running light signature that defines the R56's front styling.
The xenon bi-xenon assemblies include the projector housing, AFS stepper motor for dynamic beam adjustment, and the Hella or Bosch D1S/D2S ballast unit. These complete assemblies are significantly more expensive new — sourcing a quality used OEM unit from us is the most cost-effective way to upgrade from halogen or replace a damaged xenon headlight.
The halogen assemblies use H7 low-beam and H1 high-beam bulbs in a projector housing, delivering clean cut-off performance. Both options use the same mounting points and wiring connector, making a halogen-to-xenon upgrade straightforward (requires wiring loom adapter — ask us for details).
All headlight units are inspected for lens clarity, housing cracks, moisture ingress, and motor function before being offered for sale. We do not sell fogged or yellowed lenses.
