Best would be to reuse the harness from the old door. What I would do is before you install the harness into the new door, cut each wire shorter and make two splices on each wire after adding about 15" of wire to lengthen them. When you're done and have the harness taped up, slide it through the rubber grommets so the splices on one end are inside the door and push the other end into the car so the splices are there. You want to avoid having splices between the hinges where they will be flexing. These wires break quite often. What I do is splice in 22" of wire, then along with the splices I shove 11" of those wires into the car. The next time you have to do this repair you just pull that extra 11" out of the car and you're half done.
