My 362's are finally wired and its looks awesome. I took pics and I'll upload them tomorrow at work and then post tomorrow nite.
Regarding extending the wires, just add 3 feet (1 meter) to the (7) wires that go thru the fire wall. Cut the harness 1 foot from the (2) connectors for the foglight switch (pig tail). The coat hanger worked but I only had success pushing the coat hanger thru the firewall NEXT to the YELLOW amp wire conduit. I had to cut away some of the black silicone that was sealing the amp wire conduit. Splice or solder the cut off piece of harness to the end of the 3 foot extension after you get it inside the car.
I used 20 gauge wire scrap from work with all the right colors (I got lucky). For installation, start with the CENTER POINT (where they all come together) of the harness just forward of the big black fuse box under the hood. For the purple (switched) wire, I used the wire from the parking light nearest to the fender on the drivers' side. I used a lighter to heat up and strip 1/2 inch from the MIDDLE of the green wire. I stripped the purple wire, wrapped it around, and soldered it to the green wire. I bought 10 feet of 3/8 inch black plastic wire conduit at the parts store to cover all of the wires under the hood. Looks factory!
PS: The battery will be disconnected! I had to go thru the Security system bypass procedure in the manual because my car wouldn't start and the alarm was going nuts. To find the little bypass button, first find the Black diagnostic connector under the dash (just above the clutch and left of the steering wheel). Go straight up about 6 inches and you will see it. Hold it in while you press in the clutch AND turn the key (get help). PM me if you have any specific questions about the install.
