JDM Part # F2809-3NC0A Illuminated Nissan Logo Install Tips

[thew]

I was all set to do this...until I saw the price
Now I remember why I don't like mod'ing cars...

I think a Poor mans version can be made.. Four LEDs hidden under the emblem might have a good affect. ..
But I agree.. $$$

I installed mine yesterday with help from your excellent instructions. Much easier learning to read American than Japanese.

There were some detail differences (eg no shims on my cover) and I reused the old logo instead of buying a new one (just used some carefully trimmed double sided tape to fit it.

Looks excellent

Onto the kick plates this weekend

Glad to be of Service.. Post some Pics..

professional photo shoot is complete....stand back in awe!!



Actually, it really highlights where I need some touch up paint

Oh it's also worth mentioning that you loose the clock (not surprising) but also your charging and climate control timer when you disconnect the 12v battery. I expected those settings to be saved somewhere

I mean the parts cost should be <$20, right (and the LEDs are a small part of that)?? It looks so good though...

Odd, I did not loose anything when i disconnected my 12v Bat... yours looks great!

Lost those settings again last weekend...because I disconnected the battery to install this!

from the original grey plastic:


to stainless, shiny, LED coolness


this was the kit, typical Nissan great quality and everything included (except English instructions, but hey I bought it in Japan!)


2 connections required at the a pillar, plus running the cables


In a lot of ways this was a better mod than the front logo (I've almost never seen it, so I forget how cool it is). Whereas with these I remember every time I open the door, they are impossible to miss with LEDs

[Stanton]

That is just too cool! I bet it costs more than the charging lid logo since there's more parts (I shudder to think).
How hard was it to access the 12v connections in the pillar? How much dis-assembly? I doesn't look like the kick-board would be the hard part.

Nice!!

Ahh yes I should have mentioned.

There were some very simple trims to remove but the A pillar has special clips, I assume due to the airbag. The parts supplier warned me I would need 4 new clips and included them in the order. In the end I only stuffed one of the old clips, and now I know how they work I might be able to disassemble without stuffing any next time. It's not super tricky but not straightforward either.

Hi there, I am looking at your web-site to find the backlit logo, but no luck... do you still have any for sale? I would also be intersted in the door sills with lights... they look cool!
