Default Handlebars Internal Wiring

Hi all, new tho HDForums love the site. I was wondering if anyone had ideas on doing the internal wiring for my handlebars or is it better to have someone do it? It seems the hardest thing is running the wires through the bars. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

You can take the wires out of the plug . It will come apart . running the wires thru the bars is the easy part. Good luck JimmyZ
