That 3rd pic looks like a plumber's nightmare. I don't think I could bear to watch a conversion on my own car.

Interesting how they use a wiring loom drawing on a board as a guide to where the connectors should go...

Thanks for the update Yolo

Best way to do it.

And, if you are making a loom from scratch, you partially tack-in nails around the outlines to provide retaining paths for the individual wires.
