Default help with strut bar install!?!?!?!?!?!

On my 5th gen accord i am trying to install a strut bar, but on the passenger side strut tower there are some wires blocking the mount for the bar. What are these wires and how do i solve this problem??? can i just move them or do i have to find a different mount for this bar???

The wires can be lowerd with some engineering...just find something that can lower the location of the wires mount...A flat piece of metal in an L shape will solve your problems if you have a dremel/drill to make holes in the piece...I dont know if another mount would work or if one is made...
Just my .02
