I don't understand what you need a write up for. As long as you know how to cut, strip, solder, and wrap wire you can do it with a little creativity. You think every wire tuck was done the exact same way?

It's not called a 'DIY project' for no reasons ya'know...

There's really no 'official' way to do it, you can do it in many ways, you just gotta think a bit about where to hide things, that's all.

I write up on how to de-pin the front headlight harnesses and split the wire harness open

I alread know how to rub the wires through the fender supports

and how to re-pin and the good spots to tuck the main harness

I understand all the soldering, cutting splicing and all that, I would like to do the least amount of it as possible so I still have the stock connections and not a half hacked wire harness even though I know it is totally unavoidable to not cut a few wires

kinda related to this...

In the wire tuck picture thread I saw a few had what looks like a + and - terminal coming out of the firewall with red and black colored caps where the battery is usually located. What are those? What purpose do they serve?

Thanks.

There is no point to this thread. There is a full thread where you can already ask lots of questions and what not.
