leave it, electrical current travels the path of least resistance anyways so there is no need to remove it, unless you want to waste your time

Unless your stock wiring is fubared, which it sounds like it isnt, then just keep the stock wiring on there with it.

well i did it and left all the factory wiring. this upgrade is great..does a way better job than the capacitor i HAD. i have very little dimming with my system turned up and also the dash lights dont dim when i press two of the window buttons. cant wait to get the yellow top this weekend im sure the little dimming i have will go away if not im good. thanks to all that helped!!!
