Sometimes I hate working on cars.

Well, my Sunday evening idea of finishing up some of the mods and installs on the Mini Cooper ran into snags again. I received a front/rear foglight retrofit kit with no instructions, a handfull of wiring and connectors, lights, relays, switched and hardware. Ordinarily this is a cakewalk for me, but getting no instructions at all, conflicting and questionable parts had me searching for instructions. Lo and behold, I find an official BMW/MINI instruction as a PDF. w00t for the intarweb! Problem is, the thing was so full of errors and conflicts that I got nowhere with it. This sint the first time either. Mini Coopers are some of the coolest little cars, but they sure seem bereft of that German attention to detail when it comes to information of just about any kind. So now the car is sitting with the dash torn apart and it's brains literally on the floor as I try to get some info that WORKS.

Ich bin ein pissed mechanic.

You are all brave with your car. My feeling is that my car will remain with all original equipment from when I drove it home from the dealer.
