Nismo.Aus, welcome to the Forum. The inclusion of the Interior Lighting is a nice addition. We modified ours in 2014 but decided on a more relaxing color which matches the Nissan Ambient lighting, although the colors can be changed, if you are interested take a look in "Search" - "Berlin Tekna Interior Lighting Conversion".
When you say you have "Re-Badged" the QQ to Nismo is that just a Badge or more modifications ? - Dave ;)

Wow, very bright. I have orange LED strips that I planned to use as footwell lights... 10 months later I still haven't plumbed 'em in.

What did you use as power source?

its easy... using any Voltage Tester ( i used a Pen type).

a) on the passenger side, remove the plastic cover left side of the seat and there would be around 15 pcs cable bundled together.

b) find the White color cable and use the volatge tester to check if you got the right one by turning the on and off the Park and Head lights.

the said cable will suppy power once the door was open (unlocked) from outside or by remote (will turn on for about 10 seconds)

and it will supply power as well once the Park or Headlight is on!!!!

Brightness is fine on my QQ 100cm led strip each side... and it will lessen the brightness once the Passenger/Driver side are occupied!!!

Cheers

hello there Nismo, i have some questions because i am also interested and i am gathering infos because i plan to install it by myself...
1) 100cm led tape uses some power wattage, have you also implemented an extra fuse? where did you put the fuse and what rating?
2) after the 10 seconds delay the lights turn off, how do you manually open then again if you want them on while driving? application or remote controler?

3) if you led strip is rgb does it have orange-amber color which matches excactly to the cars ambient light color????

4) did you consider installing a second led tape as Duncho did and connect it to courtesy light instead of manually turn on the led tape when driving?

Hi,

One Power source as indicated in my Post.... and it will gives two fearures:

1) Power On once the door unlocked (auto off 5 to 10 seconds).
2) Power On once you Turn your light from Park to Head lights (I used this features during night driving).

Note: I used red led lights only (x2 sets 1 for passenger side and 1 for driver side), no remote or controller. Around 50 to 60cm each side.

FYI.
