Question Ignition coil relo question.

Are you guys that run the relocation kit under the wiper cowl using harness extensions? Or does the stock harness reach?

If I remember right I just had to remove the plug in from the main harness and reconnect under the cowl.. Not a big deal at all.. No extensions required..
