Interior Accent lighting question

Hello everyone

Today i had the accent lighting kit insalled in my 2017 Maxima SR

my question is : if the switch was " ON " and the car is turned off

is the switch of the accent lighting goin to turn off and the lights will turn off automatically ? Or should i always press the " on " " off " button whenever i turn off the car in order to turn off the lights ?

thanks in advance

This is very complicated, but below is a detailed instruction on what to do.

* Start Maxima
*Turn on lighting
* Turn off Maxima
* Observe status of lights
* Revel in the new found knowledge

Hey. Did you get it done by the dealer? If so, do you mind telling us the cost?

I think it's ok for it to stay on for a while. I'll have to double check, but I believe mine stays on for a minute or so, as does the headlights and ground lighting. It won't stay on all night, but if it does I suggest asking your dealer.

What color did you pick? I rotate mine every so often...

No i didnt get it done by the dealer !! I know a guy who used to work for Nissan . His price was reasonable for me !!

i had the External Security Lighting and the Accent Lighting and the Illuminated kick plates done with 150 $

and i also got the parts from ebay with good prices .

mine doesn't turn off unless you turn it off manually by pushing the " on " " off " button

i think theres something wrong with the wiring since yours turns off automatically !

im usin the white color ! it looked nice with the Ambient lighting , but who knows !! I might change it
