From another perspective, i have never had the trouble with the "dangly"... :wink:

Re positioning mine a little more tucked back & up... As opposed to fitting the bracket on the bottom lip/edge of the bumper, i attached on the "bracing" behind the bumper panel...?

I'm not into the bumper cutting... :D

Nice Mini too...!! 8)
Cheaper by comparison to a race horse...

I fitted a second (White) lamp to aid the reversing in the dark... Like the fog lamp, it has its own separate fused circuit triggered by reverse to a relay... (I had discovered my added rear fog came straight off the front fog circuit unfused, so was changing that set up anyway, along with moving the lamp to a more aesthetic position!) :wink:

Image
I fitted an isolator switch (Far left, top double) so it needn't have to come on with the reverse lights which i have installed stronger LED's in the stock reverse lamp housing anyway..?! Ideal for the dark reversing situations... Plus i have the fog light too, to spread (if it is red) a little more light out back!

You can fix it so you can see the pictures in the front when you are moving but not entirely legal!
