I'd say I am 99% certain they will be compatible with yours. However, give Lohen a bell as I am sure they can tell you one way or another.

In the picture it looks like the replacement headlight unit comes with the washer jets so it may just be a case of reconnecting the water pipe to the new jets....
Have you looked into fitting costs for these yet? I was considering changing to facelift xenons from prefacelift xenons but got a quote from BMW of about £500 to do the change.... £186 + fitting doesnt look quite so bad - depending upon the fitting costs.....

The lights are really easy to change... There was an article about in MM last year.

Can you get a set of facelifted lights from a breakers yard? Could 1320 Auto's perhaps help?

Looks like he already has those... He is looking at changing to the Ultra lights...

His Mini is an 03 so won't be facelift. I think you should go for OEM as I can see a minefield of problems with using those Ultras.
