From LED Union Jack Tail Lights , replacement number plate lights to puddle lights, these upgrades combine safety, style, and helps give your MINI individuality.








LED Union Jack Rear Tail Lights for MINI Cooper – Gen 1, 2 & 3


Since MINI introduced the LCI facelift Union Jack Rear Tail Lights in 2018, the Taillight category has exploded with aftermarket options and variations for every MINI model — from Generation 1, to Generation 2, to Generation 3.


At SMPS2012, we have loved and embraced this evolution. We love seeing how creativity and innovation continue to transform the MINI scene. This year, we have been working closely with our manufacturer in China to develop the next generation of aftermarket rear tail lights, inspired by the new 2025 F67 model.


These New Style Union Jack lights for Generation 3 MINIs don’t just look incredible — they are built with safety and advanced technology in mind. With programmable LED patterns and app connectivity, they take personalistion and performance to a whole new level.
