Installing illuminated Door sills ?

[ziadc]

I know this sound obvious to many but how can I connect these front & rear illuminated door sills :

add a circuit in your fusebox. clean and easy

i had the same issue. the guy i bought them from said... OOPS... those are actually only for the tiida. HAHAhA but you can actually wire them to the versa like the above post. i gave up and gave them to superskunk

yeah and i still havent found the time to work on them, along with all my other projects i got going on... i do know how to wire them though... just need to find the time to do it.... its pretty simple... just have to find the time to do it and then take pics... ill let you know as soon as i do it....

You need to wire those to the door switch. When you open the door they turn on, close the door they turn off. Do not wire into a new circuit!!!

Sorry but...I know it's like elementary school for you but where is the door switch I'll be grateful if you could post photos of the full process it might be a reference to others.

Its purty easy, buy one of the platic wire tap things and find the power wire going to the door swtich and tap the door sills power wire into it. And then ground the ground wire and vuala.

I did that process to my truck and not my V, but the concept is the same.

Yanno...I REALLY want the illuminated doorsills...but having a VERSA...I am NOT buying TIIDA doorsills, no matter how good they might look

Sorry I need to install them too but I am a noob and dont even know how to trace the wire and where the ground is. If anyone can post some pics I would really appreciate it. Also how can I install a neon light kit.Thanks,Masa

can you please post a link to the wire tap things you metioned. So does that mean I have to cut the wire? Sorry noob question

I can go through step by step on doing both things (setting up a neon kit and getting those door sills to work) but I can only post the door sill on here. Pm me your email and ill email the step by step for the neons. But I must warn you, there might be some small difference being I have a truck and no longer have my V. But the concept will be the same.

As far as the ground goes, just take a self tapping screw and drill it into the frame with the wire on it out of sight (for clean look). And for the wire tap thing, theres no cutting needed, you just stick the tap over the power wire for the door switch and then the power wire for the sill on the other side. Its kind of hard to explain without doing it.

Heres the pics of both:

I will go into more detail once I do the walk throughs
