Default EK Wire Tuck Question...

hey guys...sorry for bugging you...im outside right now trying to do my headlight harness wire tuck on my EK... i ran into a problem. I actually thought that each side had its own harness and can easily be run through the fender...but come to find out that its acually ONE big harness that runs from behind the drivers side shock tower...around the front connecting the horn and Coolant temp sensor and it keeps going connecting beehind the passenger side shock tower...lol...how am i supposed to tuck that if its just one long harness..

cut and extend wires, solder, and tuck, if it was easy everyone would do it.

where? if thats the case the tuck must look like ****., i dont see how thats possible. even on my EF i had to cut and extend.

wire tucks arent that easy. its a tedious and time consuming task.

I had to cut and extend wires on my ek. No big deal. I wish my engine harness was as easy as the headlight tuck.
