LED rear lights...

[ivawart]

....will these LED rear lights fit my K11 facelift micra without any alterations on my part?

also, are there any issues regarding legality? for example, i don't think they have any fogs and may therefore not pass MOT

If the answers to those two questions are yes and no respectively, is there anywhere apart from ebay that i can get a hold of them?

don't have a paypal account, tried setting one up a while ago but the process just confused the hell out of me

hi ivawart, your first post, welcome to the micra sports club! alot of members have done this someone will advise you.

i think one question answers the other really lol

They are a direct swapover from your standard lights and being a direct swapover, the connections, mounts and bulbholders should all be the same... and if the wiring and bulbholders are the sme, your for lights should still be there
hope this helps
$150 seems a bit steep though, i'd shop around first!

Thanks Manny - I didn't even know this site existed, was just looking for places that could help me alter my k11, been looking about in other threads and liking what i'm seeing

andyseadog, thanks for the quick reply, i wasn't planning on forking out that much but rather just used the link as an example

anyone know where i can buy a pair, preferably not via ebay?

i think you have to change the pinouts/wiring
(guide here http://www.micra.org.uk/threads/7770-LED-Rear-Lights-Guide) and moddedmicra fitted a foglight/bulbholder iirc

right yes they will fit your facelift micra but they will need re-wiring for your car. They will pass the mot no problem and they do have a fog light in, but, the bulb is white so you need to paint the bulb or buy a red bulb. I had these on my car wish i still had it

thanks jim_bling

the only prob i have would be with the wiring (don't know jack about things like that ), and seeing as i can't access the link frank posted i guess i'll have to have a rethink about it

actually since you've already had these lights, is the rewiring a lot of work? also, where did you buy them from?

looks like everyone had been getting them from ebay like your link at the top:
