I had a 2004 TSX before I traded it in on my G35 Coupe. The only thing I miss about the TSX is the great interior which had, among other things, subtle mood lighting. Japanparts.com is selling two different interior lighting kits which are Nissan accessories in Japan. One just illuminates the floor with amber light. The other (more expensive) changes between 6 colors and has three seperate modes. Here is the description from Japanparts.com:

Mode1: Whenever pushing a switch button, a color changes in following order. Orange, Yellow, Purple, Red, Light Blue, Blue, Green, Yellow green. Mode2: It changes to various colors, changing brightness slowly. Purple, Red, Pale blue, Blue, Yellow, White. Model3: It changes to various colors at random, blinking like a flash.

Does anyone here have experience with either of these kits? I'm leaning towards the color changing one, but I don't know if mode 1 will allow me to set one color all the time or if the color will change when I push any button in the car. Perhaps I am reading the description incorrectly. I also imagine the color changes could be distracting if the lights are too bright.

Just looking for opinions and feedback on either kit.

i like how in the first pic the lights are in front of her legs, but in the second pic, the lights are behind. looks shady to me. try oznium. good stuff.

 

Good call. I guess that is why the amber only light kit is called the under seat light kit. I didn't really notice it. I think it looks better to have the light coming from the front. I thought about doing a custom install, but having a kit made by Nissan would make it much easier to install.

 

oznium sells cold cathode kits (good ones) for about $20 more or less. but not the ones that change color. i haven't found a good deal on those. if you do, please share.

 

Honestly, the one that changes colors sounds kinda ricey.

 

Doesen't belong in a G. Sorry.

 

could you please explain... you make it sound like if you get one color it's ok, but the one that changes colors is ricey? so if i buy the multi-colored one, and don't change the color, am i ok?

the reason i like multi-color products, is that i'm not too far long in a 'color scheme' that it's not too late to change my mind, and if i get multi-colored, i can change it later, if i feel like it.

 

It sounded like when the floor lights are on they change colors, like a Christmas tree or something. If that's the case I think that's tacky. If they just have a color selector and you set it on say blue and they remain one solid color, that doesn't seem as bad. Does that make sense?

 

yup... and i agree. i don't dig the "christmas tree" effect either.

 

Good point.

 

i disagree... i've got a multi-colored led kit under my car, and there is no apparent 'mixing' technology has really come a long way. i was also worried about the led 'spotting' that was visible with cheap kits that came out. but i took the plunge and went with streetglow, and the tubes light up real nice and even, and brighter than the neon counterparts that i used to run on my 180sx. check out the link in my sig and go to page two. if you'd like i'll even take pics of the light bars themselves while they different colors, and you'll see that you only see one color, even when you look directly at the tube.

when the dealer smashed my tubes, they still worked although i was down a few led clusters on each side. i turned them on, and couldn't even tell they were broken unless i got underneath my car.

i'm assuming that a decent interior lighting system would benefit from the same effect.

 

not feeling it !
but nice legs tho

 

interesting underglow you got there. whered you get them from?

 

local shop installed the streetglow kit. it uses cat v connectors, so it's real easy to add extra bars.
