The original wiring for the digital clock is under the carpet under the drivers seat in my k10.. maybe its there for you too?.
I remember seeing it when i took my carpet out but didnt realise what it was for at the time. Unfortunatly, to use it for the clock, you'l need to take the front seats / plastics etc out to get to it and to wire it in!
Edit - you need to take the carpet out too! probably not worth all the hassle

The super S digital clock has 4 dirrerent coloured wires.
Black is earth, Red is for illumination switching, Brown for switched power and Green for permanent power.

Havent done what slim suggested but the OEM wire / connector will definitly be under there somewhere - on the drivers side, not the passenger side
Im gonna take my seat out and pull the carpet up and see if i can get mine installed. If i do, i'l take a picture to show you guys where it is!
Slim's suggestion would work just as fine if you use alternative power sources etc. He knows what hes talking about

had a look definatly no wire on a L, there is a loom running down the cill of the driver, this is for rear light defogger, wiper etc. there is a take off that passes under the derivers seat that goes to the box under the passenger seat and the handbrake light but no clock wire unfortunatly, going to make up loom now with slims instructions.
it must be on LS and abouve for the wire, strange as i had loom for rear wiper- must be standard on all K10's

i looked for it but not hard just shoved my hand under the carpet and couldnt feel anything,
but i found if you carefully take off the digital clocks main surround, on the circuit board it tells you what wire does what, only problem is that you got to wire in 4 wires, i wired mine to the wires on the radio
in the new year im going to start changing the brown interior to black, so when i change the carpet i will have a better look

sorted mine today, cheers for the guide slim, one question for thoes with clocks the illumination actually dims the light a bit so its not so lary at night, is this the same for everyone else?
Right i've found the wire i was on about and you can see where it lives in the picture below. Its the black wire at the bottom of the picture with the plastic connector on the end!
You can see where in the car it is by looking at the location of the handbrake

lol i must be going mad, i looked at that pic for ages and i thought whats he going on about lol
mine didnt come with that, wish it did, it would have saved me making a loom up, thats what i get for buying a L micra
Mine's an L tho!! You have to remember digital clocks were fitted in models going back to like 1984! There's no reason why they should have removed the wiring, usually just the accessory attached e.g. the light in the boot and in this instance, the digital clock! the connectors are there, but nothing else. Just seems a little odd thats all!

mines a H reg L, it had the wires for the rear wiper, i had to change the dashboard loom for the swich though, definatly no clock wires? whats this light in the boot, quite handy to have a light in the boot, going down the scrappy at the weekend might be able to get one if i know where it was located
when you open up the boot, on the right hand wall in the plastic there should either be a light - its a few inches wide and has a white cover on it. If its not there, you'l have an indent on the plastic where the light should go.
On the right hand light cluster behind the plastic, there'l be two cables (iirc) a black and an orange cable, with a plastic connector on the end. This is what the light connects to! Disconnect this, and i think you need to remove the white cover on the light and unscrew it from the plastic. The light will soon be free and easily removable.
Hope that helps!

just had a look, there seems to be a unused connector near where the rear wiper loom was found, there is a red and a black wire with a fairly large blue connector on it, i cant see anywhere on the panel where the light would connect to, maybe id have to get the higher spec panel for the light to be screwed into
Yes you probably would, but you could probably get away with cutting a hole.
I cant use my car for reference as ive ripped all the boot plastics out, however i'l get a picture of the connector later on for you.
Im not 100% sure about the colours, i was doing that from memory (which isnt very good at the mo) but i'l let ya know when i find out

I just want to tell you all, that couple days ago I was installing the digital clock... I took both seats out, raised the carpet... and there was no cable for the clock
I had to search for the right cables couple of minutes, and finally i used the fabric radio loom... everything works fine...
and for every LX user... THERE IS NO DIGITAL CLOCK WIRE IN K10 LX !!!
