1. A composite wire harness comprising:
a first wire harness including a first electric wire and a first exterior tube that covers the first electric wire;
a second wire harness including a second electric wire and a second exterior tube that covers the second electric wire and is arranged in parallel with the first exterior tube; and
a fixing member configured to fix the first wire harness and the second wire harness to each other, wherein:
the first wire harness includes a path regulator that is attached to an outer circumferential surface of the first exterior tube, and is configured to regulate a path of the first exterior tube,
the path regulator includes an insertion port that extends along a length direction of the path regulator and spans an entire length of the path regulator,
the fixing member fixes the second wire harness to the path regulator,
the path regulator is a first path regulator,
the second wire harness includes a second path regulator that is attached to an outer circumferential surface of the second exterior tube, and is configured to regulate a path of the second exterior tube,
the second path regulator includes an insertion port that extends along a length direction of the second path regulator and spans an entire length of the second path regulator,
the fixing member is a first fixing member, and the second wire harness includes a second fixing member that is configured to fix the first exterior tube to the second path regulator, and
an entire length of the first path regulator overlaps a portion of the second exterior tube where the second path regulator is not attached, as seen in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the second path regulator of the first exterior tube and the second exterior tube.
