Question Rear wheel well rocklight install

What is the best way to mount a single rocklight in my rear wheel wells with the wires hid and everything? I have rock lights everywhere else on my jeep but cant figure out the best way to do it in the rear wheel wells since I have no clue what's on the other side of the wheel well, I want to drill a small hole to hide the wires, what's the best way to drill said hole in 2 spots for the entry and exit point of my wires? Thanks

Pull the trim panel on the inside and you'll have full access to the backside of the wheel well to see what you're working with.

Why not use the holes for the ABS wires?

Those wires go through the floor under the seat, if this was the route he would then have to snake the wires around the unibody rails and then up the inside of the wheel well.

If you peel up the carpet after removing the seat - super easy, bottom section quick releases and the top section removes via 2 bolts on either bottom corner.

There is a straight- flat section of the forward half the wheel well that worked for my needs and the wires cleanly run along the inner fender trims and under the carpet




nothing explaining the how to but there a couple sneaky pictures in my build thread:

They do, so what made me think there was another hole upin the wheel arch?

Sorry for confusing the issue or, rather, the XJ with something else.
