Not sure if you will find a complete package, but in my opinion Lectric Limited is the only way to go. Watch out for specials from Willcox for these harnesses...

Hi yvh,
There are 4 main harnesses for the car. There are some smaller harnesses for individual options that require an electrical connection.
There are 2 completely separate harnesses for the FRONT of the car.
A Forward Lighting/FiberOptics harness and the Engine/Ignition harness.
They meet at the firewall just below and to the side of the master cylinder.
The other 2 main harnesses are the Dash harness and the Rear Lighting/Fiber Optics harness.
The Dash Harness also has the fuse panel as part of it.
Regards,
Alan

I agree, watch for special savings deals on harnesses from the various suppliers including Willcox!
