My only issue now is the airbag wire... on certain dips I am still hitting it.
Has anyone tucked the airbag wires differently? Extending them or anything like that?

my tire just chewed thru the yellow harness with two wires inside. now my cars taillights, blinkers, speedo, rpm, coolant temp gauges dont work at all. i looked at all the fuses and the only one that was blown under the dashboard fusebox was the turn signal fuse. i immediatly replaced it and only the turn signals worked for two seconds and then nothing again. and the fuse is still good. anyone have this happen? can someone please disconnect those wires on there car to see if the same thing happens, i dont see how an airbag wire would mess with all those other circuits.

Wow. This look much longer than i expected. I'm not sure if the rubber/metal grommet is the same between 98, and any of the previous years, but i had to bust out my dremmel to cut the bracket that held the rubber grommet just to remove the wires from the bracket. It took about 2 hours, but was well worth it. After one night of driving after putting on coils, i already ate through the plastic.
Thanks for the DIY.

I cannot for the life of me get the plugs out of the inside cabin. Any tips for releasing these from the clips inside the car? I got one loose but the green one, and the upper white one are giving me hell and it's probably the most uncomfortable place to work in lol.
They are the plugs that are near the clutch pedal:
For the guys that chose to just relocate the harness higher in the fender, how low are you? Do you have any issues with hitting the wiring now?
