[ACTI0NMAN-1]

i assume they trigger when the door is adjar?

[MRFIT]

nice..... i'm getting a set with Fit logo on it...... was it hard to install? where did u connect it to?

also, is just front? how about the back doors? do they light up too?

[T-Rex 3]

It took about 2 hours to install as we had to find the power to the courtesy light in the center of the roof. I hooked up the power up near the drivers side roof corner (red and green wire I think) and they only turn on when you open the doors (front and rear), just have to remember to splice the courtesy light back into the wiring so it turns on as well! I had a set with the 'fit' logo but sold them, I wonder how they went installing them. Its not too hard, once you find the power source. All the wires are easy to hide and theres plenty of room for the fuse and transformers to snuggle in (near the bottom of the seat belt thing).

thanks man for the info... u didn't happen to take any pics did u? :D

if u don't mind me asking.... how much did the set cost u?

[STTICH]

cool stuff. i hav a set of 'Fit' one's never really wanted to install them. if anyone interested.. pls let me know :)

How do you install them??

Is it just adhesive tape on the back?

[T-Rex 3]

I bought a set of 'Jazz' and 'Fit' ones for $80ish. They have self-adhesive 3M tape on the back of them. Easy as. The wiring is the hardest part, but now that you guys know where it is, its easy as piss!

Would've been nice for a guide though :(.

I was planning on getting one of these but I don't know how to do wiring :S

[supatt]

hey guys, i did the same installation on my jazz. bought the same one MR FIT is talking about, with the fit logo. i actually did a really easy install cos i unscrewed the door senso (on the side) and hooked up the negative to that terminal then hooked up the positive to a constant power from a wire in the fuse box.

[supatt]

if you need a guide, this is how i did mine:
1)take off door seals
2)run wires neatly all so that they endup in the front driver and front passanger sides
3)unscrew the door sensor
4)unplug the cable and tap into it connecting the negative wire of the sills (brown from memory)
5)if you look at the fuse box under the dash, you will find 2 cables attatched to a fuse kind of hanging on a clip to the left of the fuse box.
6)tap into this and connect the positive wires (black i think)
7)test the thing
8)should turn on when door open (mine has an slight annoying beeeeeeeeppppp sound when turned on,that i guess doubles as a door open reminder)
hope that helps=)

Has anyone gots pics to go with the installation guide? I have a set of FIT logo door sills and no idea how to install them! :o

[DC5R8]

very nice man!where did u get it down?

[T-Rex 3]

Unfortunately no pics, but my guide would be very similar to supatts. I bought 6 metres of extra cable (audio cable is fine) and a fuse/fuse holder.


1. unscrew the handle above the drivers door
2. take off door seals and plastic linings
3. Cut the wires (green/red from what i remember) and connect them to the door sill wiring (remember this is with the extra wire for length). you will see the wires you will need to cut comming from the front top running from the windscreen
4. splice the original wire back into the wiring loom so the roof courtesty light also comes on
5. hide all the wiring in the door sill cavities - there is plenty of space just under where the seatbelts roll up (you'll notice theres little black boxes attatched to each door sill - they are transformers and shouldnt take up much space)
6. the sills should be on glowing already as you need the doors open during install so make sure they are constantly on when you do the wiring. Test by closing the doors to make sure it switches off with the roof courtesy light when all doors are closed
7. put all your plastic linings and seals back and screw the handle back up so it looks normal.
8. wait till its night time and enjoy

Ok, thanks for the guide. Does anyone have a photo of the finished product? I am planning on fitting my sills in the next month or two.

[JazzVibe]

Yep, sure can. Whatever is easier for you.
Mine works fine and looks excellent.

I've only ever seen blue, but also red for mazdas. Got them off ebay.

so no need to open up the firewall switch in the door? just hook them to the wires in the fusebox?
