light bar wires

just fitted me a light bar ans wondering the best way to wire them in.i was thinking of running them down underneath the roof rack then drilling through just above the side window on the back end.

any thoughts or pictures of this or other ways boys n girls.


tarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

yer i ran mine along the bar then drilled to small holes in the side of the drivers side just infront of the door then ran them down the inside and into the dash. if you look in the corners by the windscreen thers a couple of plastic blanking strips that just unscrew so ran them behind that. also stuck a couple of rubber gromits in the holes to try and stop water leaking in

any chance of a pic on the outside ?

please

yer ill go and take one now.

many thanks

ther we go

cheers for that 08mckerp gives me summat to ponder over

thanks

no problem. put sum pics up when uve worked out how ur gonna do it

thats how it is at min but i also have an unwired work light on the back , that was main reason for thinkning of going through the back , out of site and just the one hole

wher did u get those lights? well ul need at least 2 wires, 1 for earth and one for power. In reality ull need 3 min. one power for front, one for rear and an earth, unless u want to put the front 4 lights and the rear work light on the same switch. tbh the way ive dun mine its pretty discrete. u dont really notice it tho i can see why ud want it away out of sight. could always go thru the roof but greater chance of leaks

got them from a scrappie only 20 nicker , i have a control panel with 5 switches on im thinkning of doing one for the light bar , 1 for rear working light , 1 for the internal light in the back so kids canr mess about, 1 for mi map light and one for mi spots on the abar

am trying to do all this before i start plywooding the inside out then i can hise cables better
