How could one of the wires leak? Do you think fluid runs through them? Wrapping them in electrical tape is a waste of time, and incredibly stupid to do just you because you didn't like the original color. It won't affect anything negatively.

dude. chill out. The guy asks a question and you open up on him??? I'm sure were all not as all knowing and aesthetically gifted as you, but that doesn't entitle you to treat people like trash.

btw JOMO, it won't hurt anything to wrap your plug wires in electrical tape (although it is a tad bit ricey IMO). And don't pay attention to the real "dumbfucks" that run around on these baords.

No, I wasn't calling the car ricey. Just the yellow electrical tape. But if you're wrapping them for reasons other than aesthetics, I suppose I can let it slide
lol

Not the best ever, that would be douche-bag, but centipede is definitely original
