Edit: I just found your diy fuel line thread, so I guess my only question is does the fitting on the fuel rail have the same part #?

does fuse box or battery have to be taken out?

what wires are safe to cut and which ones arent?

adding HIDS so you think that'll give me enough play?

anything else you might think i should kno lol!

thanks teal

You run the wires on the outside of the engine bay inside the fender/frame. I already had my fusebox/battery out. I don't know how difficult it would be to do it with them still in. The battery comes out in 20 seconds and the fuse box is a little harder, but comes out in 5 mins, so it's not a big deal to move to get the tuck done and then put them back. But you shouldn't need to. All the wires are safe to cut, just be sure you solder & shrink wrap them back together properly :thumb: Also disconnect the battery before starting of course.
Not sure about the HID situation, never messed with them in a civic.
Look through this thread, you'll see how I ran the wires through an existing hole :thumb:

its security related.

How easy would you say it would be for a thief to cut the wires off at the fender entrance? Im talking about the point where the wire harness enters the fender from the cabin.

Thanks!
