Hey guys, just the got the indiglo door sills, did really come with instructions., Just a lame diagram. It says to wire it to 12 volt +, thjas understood but then is says "Rear Door Switch", and "Front Door Switch" Where do I tap the wires into?

THankS!

 

i hope someone helps you because i am in the same boat, i got them but they are not installed yet dont feel like paying 75 dollars for 10 minutes of work...

 

BUMP

 

Damn I really just need to make a writeup for this...

 

Please do! i feel like a dumb *** when i cant even figure out how to put in my streetglow kit! where is a good place to wire this from with out the complications! i know about grounding put as far as power no clue...

 

Yeah, I've been wanting to get those indiglo door sills, but I just knew that they wouldn't come with any instructions worth damn, so I've been holding out. I'm sure that a lot of us are in the same boat. It'll be great if someone did a write up on this.

 

BUMP

 

I would tap the fuse for the dome lights, so it goes on and off when a door is open and shut. No sense in it draining the battery when the door is closed.

 

UHM GOOD Point!!! thanks i will do that this weekend!

what about the street glow kit?

That is a good point, but what's a street glow kit?

 

You need to tap into the door light. Use a voltmeter to check which wire has the power.

 

I borrowed this from install

These indiglo door sills dress up the interior of your Maxima with their attractive stainless steel look. All four plates light up in the dark as shown below. Simply wire them to your headlights, door courtesy lights, any other source you desire them to light up with. Installation is easy and comes with complete installation instructions. Fits 2000-2003 Maximas only. Quantities are limited and will no longer be available once sold out.

 

Do the rear sills from custom maxima come with wiring so they actually do light up?

 

underbody neon tubes!

 

Most door switches complete the ground in a circuit. So, if you decide to use the door switch then you can pick any 12v power source and then just run the groung through the door switch. If i'm right, then the sill should only light up for the doors that are open and not the ones that are still closed. Sound good to anyone else?

 

I know this is an old post, but I was wondering if anyone figured this out? I would agree that the diagram that comes with the sills are lame. I have mine wired to a independant 12v power source and the grounds tapped into the door switches. The problem I have now is that the lights stay on all of the time, even the courtesy lights. I suspect that the sills are acting as an incomplete ground. Do I need to cut the origional ground wires to the switches instead of tapping them? I dont want to cut any original wiring unless I have to. anyone?

 

Here's the writeup off my site if anyone needs it:

my sills did not come with an inverter should it have and cant we splice into the wires going to the door lights and draw power that way.

 

Mine did not come with an inverter either. I found a port in the fuze block that had 12v going to it, so I tapped into that for my power. If the door lights have 12v going to them let me know and I ll tap them instead.

 

Ok, i think this will help clear confusion

 

 

they attatch to the front ones.....

 

When running wire from Indiglo sill I used a coat hanger to fish it through the floor. That way you don't have to worry about it getting squished or exposed or something. I also used the ground from the black grommet switch near lock latch to turn power on a relay. Mine work fine and turn on and off with door switch. Will have pics posted soon.
