I recently put one of the E-Z Wiring kits in a friends F100. It went in
very easy. The hardest part of the whole thing was figuring out where he
wanted the fusebox.
I personally liked the fact that all the wires are one color (black). I
think it makes for a neat appearing installation. 
The price was right too!
