Locate your fuse panel -- temporarily - then head all your wires in the right direction (layout) used some TEMPORARY zip ties - go back and straighten out your runs and get the wires laying correctly... then start to look for where you're going to attach the runs and hang them - loose - this is all temporary until you zip it home.... Then I like to run ONE wire "home" bring it down - whack it - terminate it - and move to the next one and so on. Once that is all done I go back and start to tighten it all up - with more zip ties and hanging it permanently.

Remember your GROUNDS are every bit as important as the power side... thus the name "circuit". Clean metal at grounds - use star washers between the terminal and the metal (they're designed to cut into the metal not to lock the nut like a lock washer - although they also do that but they should be under the terminal not the nut/bolt head).
