probably run the wires up the rain gutter area on the side of the windshield or something like that. under hte fender from the engine bay up to the gutter are and down the top gutter till you get to your light rack

i ran my wires from the battery to a relay then threw the fire wall
then all the way back the the rear hatch. i drilled a small hole under
the hatch in the body next to the wiring that comes out for the rear wiper. i placed a tight fitting rubber grommet to seal the hole. then
just ran it up the top between the hatch and the body.

i have a pic if you want....

i ran mine up the A pillar on the drivers side(left) and drilled a 1/2 inch hole in the roof. i put a grommet in and sealed it up with silicone. its lasted a washington winter so far and no leaks!
