You can do almost anything you like with them. The only things to be careful of 
are the ends that are at the CD connector at the rear of the car. Many of these 
wires run to something that is "live" on the other end, so if you shorted them 
to ground, or to each other, you would likely blow a fuse or there would be 
confusing symptoms in the electrical system.

I usually just leave them there. I actually made a box that I can plug into 
that connector to test a number of things, but the reality of it is that it was 
pretty much a waste of time.
