You can get 'angel' eye headlights for Minis - I think they look terrible but who knows - might suit a more showy car.

So does my Trabi... except I didn't fit LED indicators as she still has the old style hot wire flasher unit (which needs a high current to work properly). I found the LEDs give a much better colour quality than coloured incandescent bulbs. The downside with many of the bright LEDs is that they give a narrow beam angle.
As for the Angel eye headlights - they're on my shopping list to accompany my blue rear light covers

All you need is a load resistor for each indicator, easily fitted and you'll flash away( they don't flash without one!)
