lighted sill...

I am trying to install the lighted door sill..
And I found all the switches but I am having trouble with hiding a wires..
The part that shows in the picture, the only way that I can hide this part is to fold it.. But I am not sure if it is safe to fold it..
Any advice?
Thanks..

careful about folding

After installing my sills, I folded the above wire you are talking about BUT DO NOT fold the wires completely. Just neatly fold the excess wire together and hold together with one of those twist-tie things (wire wrapped in paper/plastic cover... used on bread packaging). So the center of the bundle where the twist-tie will be nice and flat.. but the ends will be wider (sort of how they package extension cords in stores). You just don't want to crimp the wires which will damage them.
