I love how she's sounding more British each video she makes
Timmy Neutron do you know what I love......... your icon is amazing
@@itswayze4985 Thx man yours is awesome to😀👍
Timmy Neutron ikr
@@georgedarwent651 😀👍
its the simple things make the car look so much better
Definitely agree!
This is a true mini in every sense, loving it.
Thomas Partida well it’s not though is it... no modern mini is a true mini. Straight facts
Fxckyougoogle - The BMW Golf.
So nothing new is what is was yet it’s DNA is there. The new corvette is not the old corvette? The new Porsche 911 is not the old one?
Thomas Partida you just don’t understand do you. The new “mini” is not a mini at all. To say its a true mini is just insulting to an actual true mini. The car in this video is just a German barge with mini badges.
Thomas Partida - The new Corvette is a tough one. To me a Corvette is an American sports/muscle car with a naturally aspirated V8, rear wheel drive, the engine at the front and circular rear lights. Well two of those the new car doesn’t have. So it’s a kinda pass.
The 911 to me is a German sort of pebble shaped sports car with the engine at the very rear and bug eyed front head lights. I think the latest model still fulfils this criteria.
The Mini to me is a British small ‘city’ car that defies its small size by being surprisingly practical. It’s also a cheap car, even when new that most people can afford. It’s also a versatile car that has many variants. I think the new mini only really fulfils the versatile criteria and neither of the other three. Therefore I find it a stretch to call it a Mini.
This is what I do on a daily basis at MINI idk why I need to watch it at home too 🤣🤣
I'm jealous. I drive a German car, I need these lights! Go GB! ♥️
Looks way better now
Everyone talking about how meadow sounds more and more british in her videos but the mini is in a britishception with the union jack lights.
I’m surprised the Union Jack lights didn’t come as standard for an 18 plate. I’ve just bought these lights for my mini and I’m dreading changing them🙈
In Ireland you’d be shot for this 😂
Empire Entertainment Group of men jumping out of a transit with balaclavas on 😂 🔨🔨🔫🔪🪓
Nobody would give a shit
In Ireland you need to grow up
Praise Kek Okay big guy you park that car in crossmaglen with those lights and see how welcome you are 😂
@@Mr330d I mean she probably won't want to travel to the shithole that is Ireland anyways.
Mom: What did you learn today
Me: I can now change the headlights in a mini
headlights?
I meant tail lights
yFi-train you know it’s possible to edit your comment right?
Ξ YahBoyAlec Ξ yeah but I’m too lazy
The Britishness is getting stronger and stronger every video
I love the lights
Great!
This is what I wanted to do with my friends jcw but he sold it !!
Omg meadow I'm so jealous they look amazing wish I could get them for my 04 r50 mini cooper
I can’t wait for the mini electric but with a good range 200+
I hope to own a mini soon ❤
They're so much fun!
Meadow & Theo, well done and great video. You say that they needed coding and as I’ve just changed mine (2018 JCW with now 2021 rear UJ’s) I booked it in for coding. The BMW approved garage said it would not be a problem, only he still has my car ! He says wiring pins need to be changed but I’m of the opinion that it’s just coding ! I didn’t buy the BimmerCode App as I thought it easier to use the garage, wrong. Do you have the definitive list of codes that need changing please ?
They look nice
When you expose your reg plate
It's not like thousands of people see it daily anyways
When you see a girly undoing a screww the wrong way nooooooooooo
Simp
Sorry if you’ve been asked this a million times before, but aren’t you a Gamer, Theo? Sure I’ve seen you streaming for GTA Online - the only game I ever (occasionally) watch.
Beautiful ❤️
great idea
for my car, I had to change the wiring i.e. cable #1 goes to #5
How do you code them? What screw size are the screws? Cheers
More and more british by the day
can you show the code part plz?
I know u have just put a big wing on trixy the stripper mini , but can you please ask wang man pants to put a bodykit on it. I have seen ur style mini with a body kit and they look amazing and you can flex on ur opps when u pull up on them. Big fan of ur channel and theos keep it up.
Where do you buy the union jack headlights? For the US market? How do you code it? Was it really hard?
Get these lights: www.aliexpress.com/i/32996371376.html no coding required.
Congrats! They look sooo good! I want them for my cooper S too!!
Did you have to code them?
Thanks! Yes, you Google the app bimmer code it'll tell you everything you need to code them. Very easy honestly!
@@MeadowandTheo hey thanks i will have a look at it 😊
Meadow simp
Rather than watch a video about how to remove the light units, just look at the fixings on the replacement lights?, also you don't need to reach in to disconnect the multiplug from the light unit, just remove it when the lamp unit comes away from the bodywork.
Did you get any error message in the gage display? If yes, how did you fix it?
Nice Job, what was the coding procedure to get them working properly. Was it just a case of coding from bulb to LED?
Change all to LED and disable all cold and warm monitoring
It begs the question, why? Are you really such a fervent fan of the state?
The brand not the state
@@ekimandersom4478 The union flag which is on the new light does not represent B.M.W.. It represents the U.K. which is a political state.
@@t.r.7811 Who gives a fuck, it is an English car thats what that flag means.
@@ekimandersom4478 You really are getting worked up. I don't know if you think swearing is going to impress. The union flag does not mean it's an English car. While a number of these cars may be assembled in England, along with the Netherlands, B.M.W. is a German company. Furthermore, the George Cross is the flag of England. The union flag is not. It is the state flag.
Did u have to do any codeing for it or no?
She doesn't even look old enough to drive!
Hey. How did u get the coding to work?? The mini dealer told me bme havn't figured it out yet. I really want some for my cooper.
There's an app called bimmer code that you can use to program a bunch of stuff. You also need an iCar Pro diagnostic interface. It's a little thing that you plug into the car and then sync to the app and you can do all your coding from there. I think it's like £10 online :)
Buy these www.aliexpress.com/i/32996371376.html No programming required. Plug and play and better price.
I was wondering when are you going tot get new exhaust tips for the Mini? It looks a little weird without them. Good job installing the lights.
Wish this lights fit on the countryman :c
You can get them for the Countryman
Minifan101 fr?
omar almuhairi what?
Minifan101 for real? They fit?
Will they fit a 2016 modal at all
Oh nuts. I think I’ve threaded the top screw too in the right headlight… not sure what to do. Try pull it out or leave it slightly misaligned 🤦🏻♂️
What is Union jack anyway?
Its what the flag design is called.
RockingKevin really?
RockingKevin : British National flag.
It's a political emblem, normally referred to as the union flag, the flag of the British state.
Dope 🏁🏁🏁🇬🇧
How did you code them
what year is your mini ?
2018!
Love the montage
Where did you get these lights?
Is that a Porsche colour?
Yes! It's Miami blue
Meadow simp
Can you share the coding required for this?
Damnnnnn you sound so British
Cannot remove these screws :(
Is any coding required?
Yes coding is required. However it's very simple with the bimmer code app and the iCar Pro diagnostic interface.
Did you have to declare this change to your insurance company??
Did you have to do any coding and if so can you provide the information on what you had to do to get them to work.
Yes you do have to code them. All you need is the bimmercode app and a Bluetooth OBD reader. If you go on eBay and search bimmercode you'll be able to find an OBD reader. And then it's very simple to code them through the app
Meadow I have done that and managed to get rid of the warnings on the dash and the flickering, but my problem is the Union Jack is not lighting up like yours. I only have indicators, brake light and side light on the rear. Do I have to code anything else to get the Union Jack to light up? Yours seem to light up just by changing the lights without coding. I am working on a 2016 mini convertible so it may me slightly different to yours.
@@24710635I think there's quite a few options you can through. on bimmercode it'll be from indicators, to rear light and more. Go through and make sure each option that has to do with the lights is changed to LED
Meadow I think I may have found the problem, the connection to my lights has only five cables in where as yours has six. How much are you betting that I need that extra cable to power up the Union Jack part of the lights. It might be a trip to a auto Electrition or have a look foe a video showing the modification. Thanks for your help buddy it’s been much appreciated.
Okay yeah that might have something to do with it. Glad I could help out! Hopefully you're able to get it sorted :)
Fuck yer Union Jack 🏴🏴🏴
i installed mine and coded them with bimmercode, but as per your vid i still have the flickering on the start for a few seconds, did you manage to clear this flickering aswell? As its bugging me tbh and seen many vids from america but need someone to show this from the UK as its a different lighting system, please help!
Hmmm I'm not sure. Mine don't flicker on startup anymore. Maybe make sure the connectors are fully plugged in?
Did you disable cold and warm monitoring with Bimmercode?
@@robbyvrs no I haven't do I need to disable both? if so is that on the expert mode? if so please confirm how to. thank you.
@@Mani_Tank Yes you need to switch both cold and warm monitoring for all functions on rear lights to "not active" as well as setting lights to LED instead of bulbs, this is done in expert mode (costs £31 for the upgrade from free version)
@@robbyvrs yes I have purchased already to clear the error on display but still have this flickering issue, what code number is it under on expert mode please?
Where did you buy them from?
We got them directly from Mini!
the butchers apron
Blimey those mini lights are easy to steal ?????
Me Me I was thinking that. I hope there’s a bolt on the inside they didn’t show 🤨.
I want them too but I cannot find them for R60?!
Never seen them on an old countryman, seems cool.
Same :(
You have to first disconnet the negative terminal of the battery and then proceed on with the procedure
Only union Jack when it's on a ship otherwise its the union flag
On the Mini website it states "Incorporating the Union Jack flag into our taillight design...." www.miniusa.com/model/hardtop.html
There’s nothing mini about this car except for the badge what Says mini it’s just a bmw
You know what they say Mark , fool , money !!!!!
I’ve got two classic minis one cooper sport.and 1989 mini racing green 1293 with mods producing 160 bhp re important from Germany back to the uk and it was left-hand drive now Right hand drive
@@markellis4229 I don't , but i look after my mothers 1998 mpi sportpack . Bright red with a white roof complete with a bloody great union flag , true mini style . 13x6 wheels totally standard , though i did raise the suspension cause it kept grounding on all the speed ramps . Is your classic cooper a 68 .
No I’ve got a Year 2000 500 Cooper sport pack
And 1989 mini Modified Flame racing green
Sorry but it's not as easy as that .. I installed mine at Mini because you need a new coding for the headlights because the Union Jacks are Led and the old ones are with bulbs ... The most following the year of the car there are different codings ... Find out before buying and placing them...
Use the app bimmer code
Buy these: no coding. www.aliexpress.com/i/32996371376.html
Hello meadow
its a german bmw car it is made in britain but it is not a mini
Where did you get these particular set?
Because my dad's considering a 2017 Cooper s or a 2018 1499 GT and both of these cars don't have the Union Jack taillights
They're genuine Mini lights!
Meadow thanks!
Hello. Looks loads better! Is that a standard blue for a mini!
Thank you! It's a special Porsche colour. Only 5 Minis in the world have it😊
@@MeadowandTheo Miami Blue right ?
First viewer❤️❤️
Never understand why it’s an option. It’s a German car so why would you have a British flag on it?
Mini was originally a British company
It’s actually concerning you don’t know about Mini’s British heritage
@@matthewmyatt2625 - Is that aimed at me?
A C yes... it was
@@matthewmyatt2625 - Then you should understand that it's a bit odd to put a British flag on a German car.
Only the original was British. The new one is essentially a 'BMW Golf' and bares no relation to the British original made by BMC, Austin etc.
Its funny because its now German
:D
British flag on a german car
BenGames You clearly don’t have a clue about Mini’s history
I own a 1982 mini mayfair and all I care about is after 2000 no minis are really british
@@matthewmyatt2625 Mini is owned by BMW so technically it is German
It's not german it's from uk
@@deathmetalstickfigure Mini is owned by BMW which is German
Theo ??? Is that your girl ?
Yes they married
It’s a union flag not jack. Jack means it’s on a ship
Why though the cars german
Build in UK dude
@@ekimandersom4478 I’m aware of that the comment was sarcasm
Is this to celebrate brexit?
I'm American so I have put 0 union crap on my mini
So ?
BMW
Celtic fc
Union jack lights are just a gimmick for fashion victims.
Dont you have your own flag?
Shame it's made by BMW.
Without BMW the car would no longer exist. Would you prefer that?
mac daddy - Yes. Should’ve been called the BMW something. It doesn’t evoke the spirit of the original so I’d be happy for it to not exist,.
@@mr8I7 No new modern car invokes the spirit of the original. Using your stupid logic we would all be walking today instead of driving.
@@bigmacdaddy1234 -
I don't agree with that.
The Fiat 500 does for starters. A modern take on an old classic for a reasonable price like the original.
The new BMW Mini shares none of characteristics of the original. It's a bloated, heavy and expensive car.
It's probably a decent car in its own right but it's never a Mini.
@@mr8I7 It says Mini on the title, on the hood and on the trunk. It starts at $20K and extremely well made. Oh' and everybody knows it's Mini because of how it looks. Sounds like a winner to me.
can u stop your fake british accent ??? you are american use your native tongue
You do realise when you live in a foreign country, you eventually get the same accent or a similar accent
@@TheRealBleach its fake cuz 2 weeks ago she didnt sound anything like that
@@justaguy5791 Yes she did, watch the christmas eve video
Just a guy can you shut up
@@H.K_R nah fight me bitch
