I bought a Painless universal harness and while everything is labelled very well, there are lots of things you don't need and some that you do need (like reversing lights) are missing. It is quite complex but now I understand a lot more than I did before. You have buy lots of relays, as Sideshow says, and connectors as the ones supplied are pretty average. In hindsight I would probably mkae my own if there was a good template. Geof Hemphill has a very helpfull pair of wiring diagrams on his gallery. Really with that and using the right wires and connectors would get you there.

The "Painless" Harness is not so painless and at least twice I have been ready to rip it out and throw it away. Hours spent with a test light and battery charger to find out things for my self. Still.... almost there!
