I ran an extension cord up the b-pillar and the light strand plugs into it at the top of the seat belt. From there the wires for the light strand just go to the cross bar tower and wrap around it with a zip-tie to hold it in place. Works well and they haven't moved at all.

if you have that kind, its probably easiest to use the "indoor" type of extension cord with the flat stle wire, usually in white or brown.
thats what i used for my roof lights, and the front i ended up running an extension cord from the front all the way thru the back hatch. was easier than going to the passenger door where my inverter is lol.

I love it. I just wish I had lights on the Jeep Jeep and picked up the tree in the evening. It would have been awesome!
