How To Install Illuminated Door Kick Plates On G37 Sedan
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 сен 2024
- I found some OEM illuminated kick plates at the junk yard the other day so I decided to buy them and I got them for 30 bucks. I read a forum on how to install them but it was a bit confusing at first so I decided to make a video for all the visual peeps. Down below are my recommendations for this install
- Buy 18-22 gauge T-taps or Quick splices (the wires on the car harness are really thin)
-(Be gentle when tapping into the cars electrical harness you don’t want to yank a wire. The wires are pretty tight together so open up a bit of the heat shrink it has to loasen it up a bit)
-I used 18 gauge wire to run power and ground to the kick plates. I highly recommend buying different colors to differentiate power and ground
-Buy some wire loom to organize the wires and make the install look neat and OEM (Optional)
-Give yourself enough wire length to run from the driver side to the passenger side. When you start tucking the wires you will loose a lot of length.
Here is the link to the forum I read to get this done

I bought a new one for $60 CDN still in the package not opened, cant wait for the installation .
tks for the video.
Bro, isn't it easier if you connect to the courtesy light on the doors??
does this work for a 2008 g35 as well?
My 2011 xs has them tho and I did some like to my old g35 but wired to the rear upper lights
i have the light up ones alr, they are just going out and i want to replace them, how would i go about that? same thing?
they have a clip connector. you jut need to disconnect the old ones and connect new ones. no need to do the whole wiring
The old clips u didn’t use your supposed to run the wire through that hole..
You didn't need to install the 3 amp fuse in there too, like the T-harness has?
No fuses just tapped into the wires on the passenger side
@thestockg37 Okay, perfect, and thanks you.
I have the oem but no the light work do you know what should i fix?
Don’t suppose you see the part number for the sills? I am finding 2 variations of part numbers and both say for sedan. Want to purchase the correct ones. They look great btw!

This guy selling a pair of used ones
where did you get the interior carbon ? looks fire
Thanks bro I got it off a part out. I don’t think the guy that originally made them does them anymore.
Mines came oem.. is that a expensive option 🤔
I think new they cost around $200-300 but yours comes with a harness to connect to already. Meanwhile others have to tap into wires
