I could be wrong, but doesn't one of those wires (white/black maybe?) just go from the lowbeam side to the highbeam side? In other words, it's just a short 1.5 foot loop of wire with a connector on each end? In which case, if you really want to "clean" things up under there, you could just cut back the harness wrap far enough to pull the whole 1.5 foot loop of wire out, then re-wrap the harness (cloth wrap, please).
Yes?Comment

I said it in half as many words though. Super Elite typing! :pBelow the radar...Comment

So i've been putting off a lot of little unfinished projects on my car and decided to tackle them one at a time. I finished shortening the extra slack in the high beams cables (before it was stock wire, spliced to depo wire, sliced to OEM connector wire, but now its just OEM to OEM wires and connectors).
The next on the list was the intensive wash. I didn't get the complete packet I needed in my Headlamp Cleaning System box but I got a lot of it. I did get the necessary tubing, but a broken valve, no "Y" valves, and a lot of wire clips are still needed. I will be ordering these soon enough but for now I made headway on the Intensive wash project.
If you see here, this is the main cable needed to run from the intensive pump and tank to the washer nozzles. It came very dirty and gross.
So I took baking soda and a toothbrush and scrubbed the crap out of it and it came out new.
The two black lines are permanent. I have no idea what they are but they would dissipate when scrubbed profusely.
I ran it from the pump in the same path that the stock washer tubes run.
I was given 3 clips. 1 white one with two half-circles that kept two tubes together, and two red clips that will fit around two, but are meant to fit around one and clip the tubing up by the washer nozzles. For now I clipped them together and the bonnet hinge.
I ran it through the same path that the stock washer tube ran but if you see it shows through the holes in the bonnet whereas it should clip to the old one towards the back.
So the tubing is ran and tucked away until I have the necessary parts to finish it, the correct wiring is easy and will be done soon.
I've finally tracked down a heated wide-angle mirror that is VERY close to being NLA. My parts guy said there were about 30 left in Germany but it should come soon.Comment

So the euro early model valence came today... I'll be honest it's a work in progress. It needs a lot of love an fixing up. It's bent in a lot of places and has 3-4 small cracks and a bit of rust in spots where screws were. The paint is absolute shit but it doesn't matter since it will be repainted eventually. I need to get some quotes around town to find the total cost it will be to have this thing reshaped and sanded to bare metal and repainted in schwarz. If the price is ridiculous i might end up selling it but personally I think it can be saved.
My other option is shelling out for the tech 1 front valence and run that for a while. We'll see what the price turns out to. Here are the pics:
