Thread: Routing cable for roof mounted lights?

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.

Gratuitous pics

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.

Could you take a couple of photos of the external cable routing from taillight up to roof please Andrew.
