Default Wire Hideing DIY<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

ok i know everyone was wanting to know how to do this...very simple to do

it is a very good idea to have the motor out of the car.
1.first thing u need to do is pull the fenders off.
2.next pull all the wireing back through the firewall...have fun doin it cause it suxor
3.then all u need to do is find a convienient hole to run the headlight wires through to go under the fender. on mine i just made a new hole and im gonna make my own new grommet...but i know on ek's u can use the hole that the speaker wires come through to go to the door...
4. next u will have to extend the wires to reach the headlights.

5. as for the main harness i just pulled it back through along with the fuse box..i havent mounted the fuse box yet but it will be somewhere right behind my console. as for where i ran the wires to well just take a look...here is the new hole i made.

u shouldnt have to extend any of the engine harnness wireing.
6. this is pretty much what it will look like..btw im about to paint the engine bay then and patch all the old holes

hiding wires seems to be the cool thing to do now-a-days

looks nice. can't wait to see the finished product.


but there is something i've heard about when you cut and add wires in between, it interupts with the circuit. can anyone chime in?

i guess extending wires too much causes more resistance...which may be bad...i dunno thats what i hear..but **** it i tucked mine anyways..lol

Looks clean but probably alot more difficult to get to the wires if you have an electrical problem pop up.
