Illuminated kick/sill plates

Lannyl81

There were indeed connectors on both sides for the illuminated kick plates to plug into. These were not in a separate harness...as there was no "piggy-back" connector at the BCM (on the passenger side)...just part of the dash harness.

Something to note though: the illuminated plates I purchased were from Nissan with a different part number than the ones that come with the kit. The difference is in the wiring. The ones I got had a flat ribbon cable about 3/8" wide and this was at the front end of the panel, about 12" long....just long enough to reach the mating connector on each side.

The panels in the Nissan instructions and in the DIY threads had adding the "piggy-back" connector at the BCM, routing the harness to the left and right sides....with the harness connectors ending somewhere close to the rear of the panels...where they would mate-up with the connectors from the panels.

The part number I purchased was G6950-6GE0A...which is different.

Sooo....apparently at some point in the 370Z production, Nissan put the harness in....anyone happen to know when? Just curious.

I thought all 370Zs had a backup camera....it was just in two different locations dependent upon whether the NAV system option was present; otherwise it was in the rear view mirror.

Did this also get added later in the production run?
