Routing cable for roof mounted lights?

Okay so have received my lights I ordered through Stedi and started taking a look today at how to do the light bar piggy backing off the high beam today. Watching a YouTube clip on how to take the lights out can see that there is a round plug that connects to the headlight not what I was hoping for. The harness they provide has a h3, h4 and maybe something else option. Is there an easy way to do this with the D4 or am I going to need to see an auto electrician.

Strip back the required wire and solder the take off wire.
Then stick the earth to the earth point.

Installed the front bar today was all very seamless and looking forward to taking it out for a spin in the dark.

Still to work out how to get the switch into the car, is there an image or a diagram on where this mystical hole in the firewall wise men speak of?

Also have to decide if I'm going to wire the daylight running light across the top and if I'm just going to have it all come on together or wire separately to come on with daylights.

Sounds a bit agricultural, but it was really hard to see unless you went looking for it, especially as it not an area then usually gets washed.

At the top, the cable went in under the end of the Rhino roof rail bracket and out into the rail track where it was finished off with a female Deutsch. When in use I'd just plug in the light which had a male Deutch, and when not in use, the cable and plug would sit neatly in the track.

Sorry Scott, but it is on the D3 which I sold 18 months ago. I haven't replicated this on the D4 yet.
