Just curious. From those out there that have put 50-inch LED light bars on their roof, where and how are you routing the wiring harness so that wires aren't sticking out all over the place?

I'd love to see some pics of everyone's installations!

Bump, anyone got any installations of the 50 incher?

I just fabbed these the other day... Haven't had a chance to paint since it's monsoon season in Vegas.
But I just drilled the extra hole and just going to clear epoxy under the mount after I paint them, then I just run the wiring down the pillar to the relay that is mounted under the dash to my switch panel next to cluster

LMK if you want pics of actual wiring, but I just routed everything outta the way of all moving parts

Do your self a favor and use a proper sealed marine grade grommet like this to run your wiring in the vehicle.

Just drilling a hole in the pillar and running wiring through it with some silicone will lead to a short in the future and leaks when the silicone eventually separates.

If I didn't get that bar for free I'd be a little more worried... And if I didn't live in Vegas where is rains a total of 1-2 weeks a year. But I'll probably do that when I replace this light bar!!! Thanks for the link!

Installing my 40" LED bar shortly, & was trying to figure out how to run the wires. That mount (pricy) but should be water tight. Thanks for the link.

Well, I just got my 50-incher installed.

I didn't do any drilling. I found a way to tuck the wires without seeing them:

Routed it into an aftermarket connection for the factory fog light switch!




And there's my LED light bar switch:



Looks like a clean factory-installed switch!

Where did you get the brackets for your LED bar? They look really good. What brand are they?

Who's light are you running ?

thatXJguy

It's from LEDWAREHOUSE. I dealt with Doug through sf.baytrade on Ebay.

I dropped the headliner in mine then drilled holes used the proper grommest and sealer to do the job properly.

Then ran all 4 sets of switches to my pillar mounts for all lighting front and rear.

I didn't do any drilling at all. I ran the wire down the windshield seal, down into the fender, and finally, into the engine compartment. And you can't see any wires.

Now if I have to remove the light bar, I don't have remnants and holes. Call "properly" what you will, mine's just removable and yours is more of a permanent affixation that will require body work to patch up.

I do like the pillar mounts by the way.

I ran mine through dual fog light switches with a municipal 4-switch factory bezel.
