Nah mate, its dead easy if you have both wiring diagrams. Sometimes the main difference is that one year uses two feeds and another the two wires link up and there is only one feed.
Even without the diagrams you can work it one wire at a time and just look inside the new switches to see what goes where.
Lots of people think wiring is more difficult than it is but if you can turn a garden hose on and off then you can understand basic wiring as its the same principle.

Most of the new harness with the stripes are the same color as your original solid colors(the stripes match the solid colors except for 1 if I remember correctly...but just look at your old switch wiring and new wiring and match them up...
Basically all you have to do is run green signal lead to both signal switches,splice ,solder and heat shrink...when you compare the old and new switches and wiring,it's easy to see what goes where...
It's been a few years since I did it and I lost the color codes...but if you have any more questions,I think I can help you out...
