Ahhh..as much as I'd be honoured to, I'm not in the country anymore unfortunately. They're a faff, but quite linear to fit.
Things I can say I've learnt the hard way. Electrical tape ALL the contacts. Buy a couple of short length of USB cable at the end of the one you'll be using and seal those from the elements.
Try install the whole mechanism so it rotates with the steering as much as possible as opposed to kinking the cables. They are solid, but not solid enough for constant hair pin ascent and descents.
If you're using TT bars, I shoved the capacitor inside one of those and used a plug to seal it.
Aluminium acts like a heatsink and keeps it hidden.
Hide the USB terminal under something, I hid the two I installed under the elbow pads. Close enough for use, extra cover from elements if required.
Wiring from Igaro is a much lighter gauge to the Supernova ones, try a wrap them tight.
Aside from that, kinda dependent on the bike you're using, the bags you're using and the size of the frame really. Smaller bikes are a pain in the anus to wire up.
Two cents from experience so far. Pretty sure this thread/dynamo can offer significantly better advice.
