Roof Mounted Lights Wiring

Denk · 05-09-2003, 03:01 PM

So...those of you with lights mounted on yer safari baskets on the top o yer truck, how did you run the wires into the cab? I already saw the write-up in the tech section, but that is for a 3rd gen. I have a 2nd gen with newly aquired yak load warrior and am itchin to get those lights put in. Would think it would look cheesy to have the wires going in thru the door but don't really wanna drill too big of holes somewhere.

So what chu all got to light the way?

I thought Corey had something on his site for that kind of wiring, but could be wrong. I'm sure he'll chime in.

Here it is.
I don't have it up in the Tech section here, and it's not advertised on my site either by a link.

The above wiring technique for the roof lights works for me.
