How should I run the wires from my roof lights down to my engine?
96' 4runner lim. with the sunroof option. I have a carr light barr with 2 rampage lights right over my sunroof. Is there any easy and efficient way of running the electrical wires down to my battery. I'm thinking about drilling then running them through my pillar and then through my firewall...
What do you guys think??

If you have a roof rack then just unscrew the end cap and drill a hole through the plug there and you can run the wires across the headliner and down the pillar. I did this with mine and just silicone sealed the hole. It looks clean and doesn't leak.

What do you mean by "in through sunroof"? Do you know if there is a real practical way of taking the headliner and side a pillar panel off to route the wire through there?

Here's a link to mine. Granted, I'm no longer running this setup, but it worked great when I had it. Just run your wires down in between the rubber door seal and you should be fine: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f2/i...cluded-111728/
I did mine very similar to how Darren did his. More on his setup can be found here: http://www.mycolorado.org/wiring.html
