I bought an EZ wire kit, but haven't installed it yet. The instruction booklet is rather general and not worth a whole lot, fortunately I'm pretty comfortable with wiring so I don't expect a big problem. They also leave you on your own on mounting the fuse block on their 20 circuit box, there is no obvious mounting arrangement. I have seen some as good looking harnesses on ebay for 110-120.00 range buy it now depending on number of circuits. do a search for wiring harness under collector car parts.

EZ = 1/2$ of Painless. depends on how much hand holding you need. I ordered directly from EZ, they were very helpful on the phone, but I'll give more feedback as I get into my install, I'll have power everything so it should show up any and all shortcomings.
