 The Classic Update kit includes...  The Classic Update kit includes wire for common modifications. If you don't use them, there's no sense in running the wires to nowhere. Here we cut the vehicle speed sensor wire and ground, and slipped heat shrink over the ends to ensure they won't short out.  Unique to American Autowire's...  Unique to American Autowire's harness is a pre-wired relay system that incorporates fog lights into the mix. For those states where vehicles must go through inspection, they are wired to turn off the fog lights when the high beams are on to comply with the law.  The Finished Product

Here you see how the sleeving makes the frontend lighting harness almost disappear. We continue to use this method of downplaying the existence of wires anywhere they are exposed.  Termination
Heat-shrink tubing...  Termination
Heat-shrink tubing is the best way to terminate the loom. If the heat-shrink tubing doesn't slide over the end of the loom easily, wrap the transition in one layer of electrical tape; that will help the heat-shrink tubing to glide past it.  Covering
The best way to...  Covering
The best way to push this stuff over the wires is to make it walk like a caterpillar. From the side you're slipping it over, bunch it up, then smooth the material toward the far end of the wires. If there are not many wires in the bundle, the sleeving will slip over easily.
