Hey Guys.
Pretty rainy day down here in Victoria today, so i decided to install door switches for my interior light. It was really bugging me that only the drivers door would light it up.
The first thing i did was purchase the original switches from Nissan when i had it serviced last week. The 3 switches were $117 and the 3 rubber boots were 42.00. Bloody expensive, but call me anal, i like the original look.
Very easy install, there is one white wire going to the drivers door switch, i spliced a line into it and sent it to the back door to another switch, then under the carpet in front of the rear seat to the passenger side where i did it all again. I have attached a 3 pics. One is where i spliced into the original wire, one is the switches and rubber covers and their part numbers, one is the female spade terminals i used to attached the wire to the switch, fits perfectly.
I must say the hardest part was getting the wire to the rear door switches. I ran it down inside the sill to keep it neat. To do this i took the seat belt unit out of the B Pillar and ran the wire through a 20mm hole in the base of the B Pillar directly where the seatbelt unit sits.
Do this mod fellas, it cost me 160 bucks and two hours in the shed.
