If you go the wire splicing route, be sure to stagger your splices...it will prevent a bunch of solder and heat shrink bulging up in one place. It's easy.
I can't comment on the 10 hours part. It always takes me longer than i plan/ tell...but I prefer to do my own work. Plus you'll have to take into account your beer to bathroom ratio. Have fun with it.

Here's a link to a plug and play kit from ebay. You can get different lengths too.

Man if I can do it...anyone can do it. I spent a lot more time to do this but it was mainly because of school. And I only have drag bars so running the wires internally was a little easier (but not much)

This is the wiring and switches I bought.

I helped a buddy of mine install a set of 18s on his heritage and it does take alot of doing,not only the wires but the clutch cable,brake cable and getting everything back just right. But we did it in about 8hrs and he loves them.
