I'm a bit curious as to where you routed the wiring to and what path you took to get there. I'm considering doing something similar to this myself and would love to know if there are any secrets to routing wiring neatly.

I was wondering the same thing but hell... The only time I would really use the lights is when Im driving up the mountain to go snowboarding anyways, for that limited usage is it just easier to run a cable through the sunroof and pinch it or run it out the back vent.

Ok guys so this was what I replied to another member that asked about wiring. no pictures as I took the light bar off but what I did was go to my local radio shack and bought the 12v cigarette plug that had open wire to it and spliced it in then ran it from the outside tucked it down where the glass is, then slipped it through the fender and just tucked it all the way in eventually connecting it to a 12v cigarette port. This was the easiest way to take it down after winter.
