[@mikgp2490]

Sick channel, just bought a Qashqai Tekna model and can’t wait to start my mods on it , definitely doing the roof lighting asap.

[@Offcut55]

You really need to tin the wires as well makes it so much easier. Great vid all the same

[@TheQashqaiGuy]

Yeah, good tip

[@Lukinho99]

[@davidkerr2617]

Brill iv just done it today but with red looks great would not of thought about doing this until I had seen your video so thanks 👍

[@mogawadabdelfadilsunsetlov6779]

I wish you was living in Bournemouth 😂so you can do mine too great job 👏🏼

[@85toneboy]

Great video really helped me out and also COYW

I’ve been looking for videos like these for a long time and I’m glad I’ve found your awesome and informative channel. I’m looking into buying the 2014 qashqai and have started my research but Can you make a video about all the common faults and fixes

[@TheQashqaiGuy]

Hi, thanks. I was thinking of doing a video like that. Watch this space!

[@NSR1980]

Awesome can’t wait

I think using a different colour would be a very very good idea! I’d only used red as any other colour absolutely ruins your night vision, not a good idea when driving at night. Great idea to use the dimmer. When you solder to the small tabs on the strips a good idea is to keep the stripping of the wires as short as possible. Otherwise they may touch with disastrous results. When I used a very similar strip I used silicon sealant over the soldered wires to hold them in position and make sure they never touch. By the way I’ve an ongoing problem with my Qashqai, with heater/A-C airflow. It’s intermittent, the worse type of fault, it’s been into the dealers a few times now. The fan is working but no airflow through the vents, next day it’s fine. Last time it happened I videoed it, see my channel on KZbin, mainly to give the dealer some idea. Luckily I took out the extra two year warranty, bought last s/h it’s a 2015 1.5dci Teckna. Keep the videos coming, I enjoy the channel a lot.

Must be honest, I am tempted to order them in orange and do it again...

[@SkullyRox]

@@TheQashqaiGuy I’ve just ordered some led ambient light strips from Aliexpress in orange red- usb powered. Hoping it matches the built in ambient light! Going to put around the doors ❤️❤️

Nice, next step: stars map like in Royce ;)

[@waynepower766]

Another great job..nice one

[@Djuulerd]

A really nice video mate! I have a Nissan Qashqai as well, but could you also make an electric tailgate for the Qashqai?

[@TheQashqaiGuy]

The kits are very expensive and don't fully open, also cause damage so I haven't looked into getting one

[@nikosjorkisjr8836]

Hi! Will this dimmer memory brightness when you turn off and turn on car? Or you will need everytime to setup dimmer?

[@MrGoosey28]

Done mine today😁😁😁

Hi my friend,I have just purchased a qashqai n motion 21 reg everything seems fine but the fabric on the back seat which is in the boot ,is very loose ,not not fixed or glued to the seat .is this normal thanks.

[@Hiteshdattani1990]

Hello, you make great videos, your help would be very helpful. So I've connected eight total footwell light off the front dome light connection. For the rear interior lights i have coneection going into the passenger and left rear door for my door panel light, on the right interior light i have the connection going into driver side door and rear right door for the door lights on that. I also have added the boot light. I believe all this runs from the fuse box with 5 amps fuse. My question is how many more light can I connect to that one connection to the front dome light . All has been working fine for months now however I want to add 2x 60" led lights under the car would you recommend i change the 5amp fuse for a more amped fuse? Or would it work fine?

[@TheQashqaiGuy]

Probably worth upping it slightly

[@Hiteshdattani1990]

@@TheQashqaiGuy I think it's already 10 amp think I might have made a mistake in the original message so should I remove the 10 amps and add the 15 amps fuse?

[@LaPalmeraie0032]

Nice found! Would be wonderful with RGB as well. Did you had enough place behind the map lights? As I already have both my white as RGB footwell lights connected there I remember it was quite a hassle to put the map lights back with out damaging the cables or connectors.

[@TheQashqaiGuy]

Yeah had loads of room

[@LaPalmeraie0032]

@@TheQashqaiGuy you could even consider to turn off the map lights now. Especially in the back 👍🏻

[@TheQashqaiGuy]

Yeah good point

[@wait4weight]

Great idea! I have a j10 with the panoramic roof, but the blinds are in 3 pieces and go back one over the other. Can i pass through the cable that connects both led strips together or will it get in the way of the blinds?

[@TheQashqaiGuy]

Have a close look at how they run, the j11 has that rubber groove that works a treat luckily

[@shanecooke4698]

I need to do that.

[@elroyvanderkruk6318]

You can use the rest in the trunk

[@coolissimo69]

Thanks great work, did you protect your panoramic roof , with any PPF?

[@TheQashqaiGuy]

No, haven't needed to....yet 😂

[@shaakahaari6644]

Hi Dan. Can you do a video of installing ambient light on the dashboard and doors as well please

[@TheQashqaiGuy]

Watch this space!

[@ZackChannel]

Make sure you put the final result at the beginning of the video to see if some us will like it. The final result are couple of seconds at the end of a 30 min video.

[@fewery19]

If you wire to the interior light and lock the car from the inside whilst driving as some cars have the auto lock fitted once 5mph plus is reached to stop people getting inside but Nissan did away with the feature, do the mood strips switch off 👍🏼

[@TheQashqaiGuy]

I'll check tomorrow

[@SkullyRox]

I want to do around the doors etc! 🤭

[@Hugo-RhysSalisbury-db6se]

Hi. What phone holder do you have please, did you get it off ebay??

[@TheQashqaiGuy]

This one amzn.to/3VfIdpC Really simple but works brilliantly

[@egesevindi]

Where did you run the wires through?

[@TheQashqaiGuy]

Down the passenger pillar

[@cengizkaraaslan800]

I installed qashqai j11 ambiance. I want the ambiance to be turned on when the headlights are turned on. where can i connect the wire

[@TheQashqaiGuy]

Any backlight source that comes on with headlights

[@cengizkaraaslan800]

@@TheQashqaiGuy in the fuse box , can I do this with the fuse extend?

[@TheQashqaiGuy]

Put a piggy back fuse on it for safety

[@shirazmalik417]

How many meters strip would u recommend to buy?

[@TheQashqaiGuy]

I'd go with around 4 metres to be sure

[@gurgengrigoryan3077]

[@TheQashqaiGuy]

No
