Default Who said hiding the fusebox was alot of work....

Well it is...Mainly alot of thinking how you are going to route the wires...Took me a good three to four hours to hide it...Only two wires were extended..

Bottom of the box where the harnesses plug into...Unplug them..


Take all the tape, loom, and misc. stock **** off the wires...Run them into the existing plug...


Get into the interior and remove glovebox to work easier, pull carpet back, and reach up and feel where the stock harness goes through. Rip off some of the foam **** so the wires go in easier....Going biggest to smallest gently push the harness plugs that where underneath the fusebox into the hole...this part is timing consuming to me atleast...
They should appear here...

I extended the two tires that come from the starter and the main power supply cause they were a tad bit short and I didnt want to force em...


Finally bend the braket a bit with some pliers or something and simply bolt it down to the existing hole...


Next is extending the passenger headlight wires to hide them, I already did the drivers side...This crap sucks...

maybe a dumb question, but why hide it? Clean up the engine bay or for security purposes?
