Just started following along bro. You've gotta sweet rig there on your hands! Great work and happy to see you enjoyin the hell out of it! Keep up the good work and keep posting the pics!
Hey that wiring on your lights looks real familiar. I have the same bar. I did almost the same kind of wiring for mine except I wasn't comfortable with drilling a hole in my roof. I ran my wire from my lights through the hollow part of my roof rack for concealment and ran them all the way back to my trunk door. The wire only shows as its going into the trunk door.

Yeah, some people go along the roof rack and down to the inside by means of the rear hatch. The IPFs i got have more than enough wiring for it but i figured a hole above B-pillar would be easy enough, thanks to silicone.
Any questions hit me up! thanks!
