2020 Platinum or SR options

Cut me some slack on this one......I'm ignorant on this partly due to me recently becoming an 8th Gen owner, as I've only had 7th gens 'til now.

I bought my car (a new '20 about a month ago, last new '20 on the lot, they said) partly because I drove a similar one, which was a used '20 with under 3K miles....and generally liked it.
My Plat came with factory-installed:
-lighted kick plates
-impact sensors
-diffuser
-spoiler
-sport mats and a few other things
It didn't come with the exterior lighting kit. Regardless, I bought the accessory kit from a Nissan stealership to install myself.

Can someone that has this option please take a pic or three of the switch inside the console??

Just want to see how the factory does it since the instructions seem to leave a wee bit to be desired. Been to the lot, but they don't have any, go figure....of course they don't.

Please explain exterior lighting kit. If you mean the ground effects lighting (puddle lights) then there is no switch on the dash board. They operate when the vehicle is unlocked or the door is opened.

I was mistaken. I should have said the “Interior accent lighting” option……my bad. Plus, found out it’s a dealer-installed deal, not factory.

Mine>>a-loaded 2019 Platinum had this option installed at the factory. That said it is also a dealer-installed option. Very hard to see the switch for light color choices since it is nestled in the armrest storage bin on the dash side of the bin. The switches face backward (in the bin) and are almost impossible to see sitting in the drivers seat especially if you have items on the storage box.
Not sure it is worth all the hassle and cost for the option kit. I never used mine again once the light color was selected.
