Roof Lights
I have a questions for you folks out there. I have a roof mounted light bar on my '01 XJ, and i'm looking for the best way to wire-up the daylighters i'm planning on installing up there. Any suggestions would help me out greatly. Thanks for your time.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I meant as far as wiring them through a hole in the roof... or trying to wire them down around the door... just looking for options that look the best, protect the wiring, and not turn the inside of my XJ into a hot tub when it rains here in chicago (which seems to be happening alot lately)

i ran the wire under the trim for the windshield. then covered it with plastic conduit. check, kinda ghetto, gets the job done for less!

i just finished wiring 4 six inch pro comp lights onto my room rack. and i mean literally just finished! i got the black plastic tube from ace that has a slit down one silde and put all the wires into that. i grounded the lights under the head board, and ran the power wires down the pillar behind the panel. for the hole, i drilled a 1/8 hole from inside out, then a 1/4 hole from inside out, then finally a 1/2 inch hole from inside out. i put a rubber grommet in for safety of the wires and then siliconed he hell out of it! inside and out and around the grommet. i live in western Washington so i know about rain!!! i wouldve taken pics but didnt think of it and i dont have time to tear it apart tomorrow or any time soon sorry. its really not that hard just think it through! i wouldnt advice running the wires under the window trim, if you messed up ur window seal you'll get a lot of water in! do it right the first time! ill take some pics of how bright they are, i went to the back road behind my house and turned them on... blinded my ex best friend hahaha take that back stabber!
*edit* instead of sodering everything i used butt connectors and electrical tape. easier and works just as well!
