I've searched quite a bit on this topic but have a question and haven't come accross a definitive answer.

I'm currently doing a wire tuck on my 1997 civic coupe. The headlight wires for the drivers side appear long enough and don't need extending. However, the original route of the passenger side headlight comes accross the front of the engine bay and plugs into the same plug as the drivers side headlight. Whether I route the passenger side headlight through the passenger side fender or accross the front of the engine and to the drivers side fender it appears I will need to extend the wire. What kind of wire do I used to extend the headlight wire. Is there anyway to avoid extending these wires? Thanks.

 

When I did my headlights, I routed them through the fenders and I do believe the passenger side had to be extended... I forget what gauge wire I had to use but I believe it was 12 for the headlights... But nonetheless you do have to shorten/extend some wires if you want it to come out clean...

 

i figured the passenger side had to be extended as it goes to the same clip as the drivers side headlights. i do want it to be clean so i will be taking no short cuts. any idea how to depin the wiper motor clip? its a pain in the ***....

 

what if u got hids?? wat would be a good place to store the ballasts at??

 

ive read and seen people put the ballasts also inside behind the fenders in the fender walls.

 

I put mine behind my bumper.
