    Evening all, I'm trying to find a set of headlights for a K12 Micra (2011 reg) . We have tried all the usual places.. scrapyards.. Mick's garage, Somora, Traynors in the North but no luck. Are there any other places that we may have missed to source them?

    Surely Kilkock Car Dismantlers would have loads of these? Or theres a few on Ebay.

    We've been there, the few we seen were either damaged of the lens faded. The lens are faded already

    Have you tried restoring your own lenses?

    I restored my micra k12 headlights with some fine sandpaper and then buffed it out with compound, simple job.

    Autodoc have tonnes of options, a lot are out of stock. are you in a position to get the part numbers from the old headlights. A lot of what they have is LHD so part numbers would help.

    Assume they have the black surrounds in the lenses?

    The only lights with the motors were lights with black interior. Would that be an issue?
