Ok, I figured it out and completed the rear foglight / brakelight mod on my MCSC tonight.  I researched the wiring and I am able to install the jumper on the convertable by removing the passenger taillight.  Install time took 20 minutes which included my research. 

Here is the result;

I used the same procedure as I do on earlier years and it is functional with or without the rear foglights being enable.  You do however need the light. I need a standard 05 Cooper or 'S' to make the mod on and ensure the procedures are the same.  I am documenting the procedures and will be able to have kits for 2005 MINI available for sale soon.  I am also considering getting a supply of stock lights and for MINIs with the black plate making the kit available.

You have to admit it really lights up the backend. I like the wrap around look of the lights.

HarborMike is the second MINI to have the 2005 brake light mod.  We did his 2005 MCS last night and it went really good.  The wires are located in the passengers side rear compartment and very to access.
