guys i want to make my front lights brighter, i currently got bi-xenons but want more.

where do i start looking....bulbs....kits??

Scarey should be able to help you, he's quite good with lights...

Do you want brighter or blue-er?

I've found the bi-xenons on my 53 to be far superior to the Xenons on my facelift You may be dissapointed in output if you change them. But meh.

you cant get any better than the bi-xenons on yours ..as you know when you put your lights on high beam , a flap goes up and makes the dipped into high beams..the halogens are only there for show and flashing other motorists , and when in high beam only 10 volts goes to them...as DAN says if you want bluer light then replace the bulbs to 6000k ones [OE is 4300k] .....if you really want more light then spots are the only answer ,but then that would spoil the look of the front.. ... - .- -.

I must admit that I had adaptive Bixenons on the RRs with the additional driving lights, which gave a great range on the country roads round here. I don't know what difference there is with the FFRR headlights but I haven't found their range to be less than the combined driving lights and main beam headlights of the RRS. 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

Are you sure they're working properly? It's not factory wiring, after all.

I'd check the wiring and the adjustment. My facelift Xenons are fine. I don't know if they're much better than the earlier xenons, but they work as well or better than any other xenons I've driven with.

Can you hear the shutter when switching between main and dip beam?

No, because they are xenons not bi-xenons. If you have a shutter you have bi-xenons. 

so on yours DAN you have a hid bulb for dip and a separate hid bulb for main as opposed for a pre -facelift where there is only one hid for dip and main... ... - .- -.

If a Xenon lamp has a slightly pink tinge to it that is also a sign that it is getting near to failing 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

Pre-Facelift with Bi-Xenons, as per Vogue:
Xenon Bulb - used for Dipped, with shutter dipping the beam. Xenon also used for Main beam when shutter moves out of the way.
Halogen Bulb - This is used as well as Main beam and Flashing (you cant flash with a xenon as the bulb takes a few seconds to warm up)

Facelift with Xenon:
Xenon Bulb - Just used for Dipped.
Halogen Bulb used for flash and main.

Facelift with Bi-Xenon As pre-facelift Bi-Xenons. 

nearly all clear now , but is there a choice of lights on the facelift ... ... - .- -.

Yep.

Xenon, or bi-xenon I believe. Microcat seems to back this up. They also did a Halogen only headlight. Possibly poverty SE spec? 

confirmed ,the SE does indeed have only halogens for both dip and main.. ... - .- -.

These are the bad boys I need:

But whether the hack and slash job the conversion company did can ever be repaired to make fully functioning bi-xenons again, I dont know. 

i have been looking for a replacement unit for mine in the last few weeks and i've noticed quite a few units like that DAN and with a lower price as well... ... - .- -.
