Default Need help with wiring!!!!!!!!!=[

Hello guys,
I was trying to wire my car cam through the interior of my IS, but I cannot figure out which kind of TAPE to use for guiding these wires, tried a couple different kind and they seem to fall off under the heat of the sun. Any suggestions for me?

So do you need tape or wiring help? I have some 3M Outdoor Mounting tape holding my HID ballasts by themselves. If they can handle the heat of the engine bay I'm sure they can handle the heat of inside your car .

"tape for guiding wires"???? I'm confused. You're using the tape to pull wires and use it like a lubricating sleeve? Electrical tape should be ok if you use the good brand like 3M.

If you're using the tape to insulate cut wires, then electrical tape is ok but insulated crimp connecters are better and solder/shrink tubing is best.

Solder/Shrink tubing hands down.

Have you soldered the wires together? If you do this then they shouldn't separate when you pull it through. And you won't need the extra tape on the outside.
