Well done, Dane ! I put the same tires on my Mini one year ago. Still very happy with them.

Hoping it was just the LED bulbs that have been in there for over a year. Nope!! Wiring in the elephant trunk, but I can't pull the rubber back far enough to temporarily fix it with a butt splice. Thinking I may have to tear the whole trunk lid apart to fix it.:crying:foottap:guns:gun1

How would the wiring be bad? due to aftermarket bulbs? or aftermarket trunk? Or previous accident/damage?

It's somewhat of a known issue from what I read, with the e46. I found a thread on it on the first page of the lighting section over on e46f. Over time the wires will break due to just opening and closing the trunk, apparently.
