Which two wires are spliced into?

Is there any reason why I couldn't just splice into the wires in the OEM connectors directly and not build the new harness? Or does the harness serve another purpose that I'm missing?
The harness just taps into the upshift / downshift connections, while bridging the other power and ground wires.

It's more like an OEM like feel without cutting any wires. You can simply use wire taps if desired.
