Cutting corners or being a perfectionist?


So i'm like halfway in wiring this pig and i'm now second guessing earlier decisions.  For instance, i bought the wire before i fully figured out the wiring.  Now i have a new requirement for a wire from the ignition switch to power the turn signals in the accessory position (for warning flashers).  I have plenty of white wire, so was going to use that, but now i have two white wires feeding the headlight bezel.  Do i rip it out and order new wire that has a color not previously used, or leave it?  If i rip it out, i need to order new wiring plus new deutsch connectors (at like $25). 


Also, there's the wiring loom.  I like braided split loom and had a lot leftover from a prior build, but i don't think it's temperature or chemical rated.  I started using it but then thought i should upgrade to temperature and chemical resistant braided loom (not cheap BTW).  After getting that, i'm now thinking on PVC.   Not in love with the looks, but it's better than braided for exterior locations.  It would also be a pain as i've already started making connections.


So, am i a perfectionist if i change it or am i cutting corners if i leave it as-is (it will work fine as it is)?
