New tubes really add to the general fresh look to the front trunk. I had to make a bolt to hold the back of the winshield wiper assembly in place, but I got everything bolted up this weekend. Next comes the wiring in the dash I guess.

The wire mess looks a bit overwelming. Any advice is welcome. And yes I know the light switches are out of order

Did you label the wires before you removed the harness? Or is this a new harness?

Regardless - my advice on hooking everything back up is "one step at a time." Hook up the fuse panel. And then, one gadget at a time. Identify where you think something should plug in. Ideally, verify your choice with a voltmeter (if you have the switches hooked up). Hook up your gadget. Look/listen/smell for burning wires and blown fuses. Turn the switch on to your gadget. Look/listen/smell for burning wires and blown fuses. Verify proper operation. Move on to the next gadget.

On the "burning wires" front - you should probably have quick access to the 12V battery during all this - so you can quickly disconnect if you start overheating something. I kept mine outside the car hooked up via jumper cables. Most of the wires are *not* fuse-protected (especially grounds) and they can smoke very very quickly.
