You're in a Classic Mini forum (but we don't mind).

 

Any lights will fit (and work) on any car. 

It's all 12 volts and it's pretty easy wiring.

Just make sure the spots only work with the main beam switched ON

(MOT failure otherwise) 

Spots can be independently switched or not but must ONLY work with main beam.

 

Try Maplin for the cable or any car spares place.

Or B&Q at a pinch. You just need any old insulated copper wire.

May I add to this, make sure its automotive copper cable of the correct rating, household cable is not suitable
