I posted this in the big Model 3 Light Kit Thread, but I think it turned out nice so I'll share it here, too.
I just put the Amazon Nestour kit in my 2020 MYLR. Here are my thoughts.
There were some reported issues with the tubes being curly and difficult to install, and with the included double sided tape. I had no problem with straightening the light tube. It came loosely looped in the box but unrolled easily and installed flat. Maybe they've changed it a bit? The double-sided tape included was 3M VHB. On the dash, I used some adhesion promoter and cleaned well with alcohol so hopefully it will stay in place. On the console tubing, I only used tape on the end where it goes into the center storage on the recommendation of the OP of the Model 3 thread. The rest of the console tube seems pretty stable without it.
I used heat shrink tubing on the ends where the light pipes connect to the emitter. I also dabbed black paint on the cut ends to eliminate the bright spots. For the dash, I ran the wire down the side panel of the dash, under the dash panel below the glovebox to the center console, and under those panels. I drilled a small hole between behind the side panel and the inner storage area to thread the cable through. I found an organizer for the center console which has a cutout for the cigarette lighter and is big enough to take up the entire length of the console, hiding all the extra wire underneath.
I did not install the footwell lights. I had replaced the stock footwell lights with some blue ones that work well and go with my color scheme so I kept them in place.
Pics! Finished product. Ignore the spudger on the dash. I'm using it to keep some pressure on the end to get a good bond on the tape.
Wire hole:
Excess wires tucked into the center console. Shrink tubing on the excess light pipes.
New tray hiding the mess.
