Don't think the k11 lights would suit to be honest, and they are a different shape to the k10 ones. Theres a few sets of lights that could be fitted without too mch modification to the shell of the car. The early golf lights wouldn't be too far off I don't think and there is loads of different ones available. I almost changed my mind to these recently. Also someone suggested Renault 19 lights a while back. Either way though there would be some modification required, and the amount it would cost to make new ones you would be better off getting different ones fitted. 
Have a look around at other cars and see what looks a similar shape and what you really like.

I have angel eye front lights, or at least I will do when I get them working hehe. They look real kool, but again they would have to be different lights, unless you could get someone to put some in the k10 lights?? Shouldn't be too hard to do if you know what you are doing I don't think.

micra man said:Yeah thats what I was meaning when I said make them from the k10 lights. It just whether they'd be wide enough to fit two in and make it look good. Tricky to do but may just work.
great minds mate

find a company that blueprint the micra rear lights and ask if they'd do a clear set! they have to use clear plastic for the reverse section of the lights anyway? i'm sure they would consider doing it, the only problem would be maybe having to stop the production lines accomodate...that's expensive!
I was chatting to Kimbo Frog (some people may remember her) and she had some quotes and stuff for this type of job, however the prices were absolutly rediculous for one off jobs. You also need to send over both lights for them to use as a template etc, as they do the job from scratch.
She since told me that several companies she was dealing with have all decided to stop this due to the time / costs involved, and they'd rather just concerntrate on making items which are going to sell - standard lexarse lights etc.
ok someone else has posted up why i said that

so i was merely stating fact!
If your car does pass then its being done by cowboys! Obviously aftermarket parts do stand out and should be checked.
