When the rack is removed, the holes in the snorkel (one under the bonnet and one near the roof) are sealed with blind grommets.
My lights were placed close to the front of the rack, so the bonnet was fully lit up with them on, not that much of a problem as the bull-lights put out so much light (the sun also illuminates my bonnet during daytime, after all), but further back would be better.
I wired the rooftop lights so they could only come on with the lower driving lights, but could be switched off independently. There is such a thing as too much light, e.g. when approaching big signs or other reflective objects. Don't have any detailed pics of the installation, but this one shows them in place.
