I cut the headlights and blinkers and taillights off with about 6" wire left on them. If thats all your running other than engine and gauges might as well rewire all of it. But i will probably be using a speedwire kit or race wire solutions from Brian Black. So i tore all the wiring out. Also it will give you a chance to run the wires how you want to for a clean easy look. Hope this helps.

One of them is for the lights, one of them is for the power window express down feature, and the other is the Body Control Module which does a whole lot of stuff. Power locks, windows, anti theft, interior lights, etc. all controlled by the BCM.
