I'm going into the dealership tomorrow, and I will report back with what I find out.

I was getting some sort of signal, but I'm not very good with a multimeter, so I'm not sure what the results told me?

Just got back for the dealership, and still no illuminated sills

I think they went back to the old 2006 wiring. Obviously the service guy doesn't know for sure, but he told me that only cars that came with "memory seats" have to ablility to illuminate.

Looks like I am off to the harware store for some wire and wire nuts...

Done! They light up now. Took a little extra work but oh well...

Thanks for the update, but 3 threads from 2 members on the same 1 topic isn't necessary. Threads merged.

hey lylebeach once you figure it out let me know how you did it!!! if its the same method as joe z then it would be simple.

Yes, I did get them to light up. I used a combination of the thread by "IceIridium" as posted by "Joe Z", and this thread: Fast Install of Illuminated Scuff Plates

I agree that it sucks that they went back to the old way of wiring. But to be honest it wasn't hard at all to do. Plus, there are some bennifits to doing it this way:

1. They don't fade in/out (so they are full brightness as soon as you open the door)
2. They don't run off the dome light button, so you can still have the scuffs illuminate and have to domes off! (good for if you haven't done the LED dome light upgrade yet)
3. Some good ol' wrench time with your car.

I actually like it fading in and out.

LyleBeach,

Glad you were able to confirm that the DIY wire tap method is how to get these to work in a 2010 ISx50..

Good Job!!

Hey llylebeach would you mind showing me some pics how you tape your ground wire into the ISP? did you tap the red wire into the car ISP harness or into the harness from ISP itself?

would either method work?

Joe Z

Well tapping it into the car ISP harness would be better..

Did you happen to see the pic in my post# 27 ..??

yea i saw the pics just a little confused. So when i cutt into it i would tap into the end thats comming out of the connector right? and not the end that goes into the car.

i'm just making sure i usually wanna do it right the first time.

thanks for the help JOEZ now can you send me a free intake in black

You definatly want to tap into the white wire on the car harness (female end). I would also suggest soldering your connection for longivity.

Anyway, the reason you want to tap the car harness, is so that when you want to take off you ISP in the future for whatever reason, it won't be attached to the car with a wire! You would just simply unplug the harness and the ISP will be free.

You mean charge you double?? LoL

All you would do is cut and make sure to leave enough wire to connect to..
and yes.. you don't care about the wire not on the connector.

Your new wire will tap into the white harness wire.. so when you plug it into the ISP, it will light up..

Are these plug and play for an 07 350? From what I gather they are NOT play and play for 06 and 10. Are they simple install for other years?

Yes! If you have an 07 there is a plug for it!
