well being that i had no clue as to what i was doing since there was not already a DIY. it took me roughly 2 hours to do the passenger side with about 10 smoke breaks.

and then the drivers side took me about an hour with smoke breaks

from what i could see when i did it. it looked like it needed to be extended. i could be wrong.

even if it does need to be. just snip, crimp, tape and plug it in.

I also had to extend mine but I also didn't remove all the wires from the loom. Possibly doing that and relooming will give you more length....?

when you extended your wires... were there multiple wires that needed to be extended... could you fill me in on the amount of wires so i can buy enough extention wire to do this..also what kind of gauge wire is needed?

Hey Kenny I'm probably going to take out the windshield reservoir too but with the wires being unplugged, will that give you lights in the dash?

You dont have to remove the whole tank. The part that you see is just a filler funnel. It pulls straight out of the tank and you can just cap off the tank below with some duct tape.
