Rollbar Lights

I bought a pair of driving lights to go on the rollbar i just installed. What's the best way run the wires to the battey ? I was thinking through the bed, and run it underneath the truck with some heatshrinking to protect the wires. If any of you guys have rollbars, how did you run hte wires to the battery ? Thanks.

Hopefull I'm not too late.

I currently have 4 KC lights on my rollbar. I ran each POS wire into another's POS wire... therefore only having to run 2 POS wires. I grounded the lights right to their brackets.

I ran these two wires through the roll bar, through the bed floor, and into through the rear of the cab (there is some sort fo service hole the size fo a quarter with a rubber cap). From there I tapped into 2 toggle switches setup for my lights. After the toggles, I tied the 2 POS wires together and criped them to a larger single wire. This wire runs through the hood cable's hole in the firewall, down the firewall to the PASS side, and onto the POS BATT cable.

I didn't wire it in through the key, which is fine, as long as you don't leave them on.
