Just finished installing these.
Yes they are nicer than stock. Yes they look great in the dark. Yup just push up the little release in the middle of the BCM connector and it will pop right out. No they are not worth the price!

I installed a set today and the driver side front clip doesn't clip, it slides in and out of the hole. I resorted to putting a piece of gorilla tape on the end to keep it down. Any better suggestions?

I installed my kick plates today using this DIY, thanks for the pics!!!
Like everyone said once you take the panels apart it is pretty straight forward. The small screw driver for the bcm plug made it easy. Thanks fir this DIY, this mod is a must!! Took me two hours, going slow and double checking everything. A good flashlight helps the process... A few beers too... Cheers! Last edited by lgarcia; 08-16-2014 at 10:03 PM. |

How and where did you guys hide the wire that connects the LED light from the kick plate to the rest of the connection?

Nevermind I figured it out. I had to put it under the weather strip, that was dumb.

I'm getting confused, my '09 Touring did not come with the illuminated versions of the sill plates yet I've seen some places that have said ALL the touring models came with them. Can anyone point me to an answer here?

I have an 09 Touring and as you can see I had to install the kickplates myself so there's your answer.

Just finished installing this kit yesterday on my 14 Nismo Z. Pretty easy install. fishing the wiring from right to left was the only real challenge. Great results. Look good at night. 2 thumbs up on the install write-up.
