        Its self explanitory. If you know how to put sockets together and extend wires its easy. It takes time. It took me 4 days because I took my time and brainstormed where I would relocate particular parts.

        I marked some identical sockets with colored electrical tape. Just do one side at a time.

        No DIY required.

            some say that some of the wires have to be extended. but im going to take the wires and stuff in my bay off from those bolts and brackets and see how much slack is left to move it somewhere.

              Listen to someone who did a wire tuck. You will need to extend. No buts about it. I find it impossible to wire tuck without extending. The passenger side I think you MAY get by without extending. Driver's side, no way in hell. And in tucking we all mean hidden OUTSIDE of the engine bay right, not underneath parts in the engine bay.

              Extend wires. No half-assing allowed.

                  like they said. it requires patience. get some extra feet of wires and makes sure you mark everything to be sure you dont put the wrong wires together.

                      yup yup agreed like I wrote it out all in detail... you have to extend drivers side no doubt about it.. an like I said just go to your local JY and cut 2 harnesses yuh kno it cost me $7 for both... if anyone wants or needs help just read what I wrote on page on it says each wire to extend and dont get overwhelmed just do one wire at a time... and add it from the harness you cut from the JY which the wire colors match and everything so its not hard...so me you and PR all say you have to extend... also on the passenger side I know you do have to extend a lil but that your choice if you want the wire to be streached or not yuh kno... anyways wadup my twin!!!!!!! to bad your not guna roll thru to our dec 6 meet!!!! its goin to be crazy!! we have jackfrostwhite comin all tha way from NJ an people from TN an NC

                            if youre creative, you can avoid extending many wires, i had to cut and extend 3 wires on the driver side. besides that, i actually had extra slack for a lot of them.

                              lmao... nah but anyways take the bumper of as well ass fenders... I started on the driver side an I first cut 2 holes one on the outside which you need to do to get to the inside...also I found it easier to just pull off the headlights and housings... pull all the wires up to your drill point and run them thru... also I DO NOT HAVE A/C SO I DID NOT WIRE THE SOLONOIDS OR EXTEND WIRES FOR THEM... once you have them thru the wholes you have made bring them as far as you can but as far as yankin on it yuh kno.


                              the exact same thing goes for the passenger side just alot smaller bundle of wires...ALSO I HAVE FOGS SO IF YOU DO YOU WILL ROUTE THESE ALONG WITH THE HARNESS... ok now (wires to be extended)(driver side) low beam,highbeam,washer fluid,horn,bumper turn signal,2 upper turn signals, and your side markers if you have them... this is wat the driver side piece you cut from the JY is for.. you only need a foot or a foot and a half and that with plenty of slack....(passenger side) high beam,low beam,horn,bumper turn signal, 2 upper turn signals,sidemarkers if you have them,and the pin connector that goes to the cooling fan I think you will see it ... its goin to come out with the horn....... and your good to go BTW I have hids so I didnt extend my low beams because I just wired my ballast direct to my low beam and you do not need to extend unless you want to. as well on the driver side I didnt even touch the low beam connector.


                              keep eveything above the wheel well I drill a couple hole and used some of the factory clips to make sure none of the wire try to go anywhere on both side... as well I tie straped and electrical taped everything so that it was tight and no wire would be loose bouncin around... now wire everything back up put your fenders back on as well as bumper... stand back wipe you sweat and say damn Im tired but it was well worth it lol... also I DID NOT RELOCATE THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE DASH OR RELOCATE THE BATTERY TO THE TRUNK BUT I AM GOIN TO DO THIS WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO> SO STAY TUNED!!! AND PIX WILL BE UP SHORTLY!!!
                              thats better.
