Hello,

This weekend i want to wire my top lights in on the paj. But cant figure out where to pull the cable down, because i dont want to drill the top of the car.
Anyone have any ideas or if someones has done this can you guys post a pic or something?

cheers in advance

If you don't wanna make holes, then you could clip the wire down the A pillar and sneak into the bonnet. Done that before, but doesn't really look too permanant.

hey mate, Im not sure if you can see from this photo but I made up my own "rack" to keep my lights on and zip-tied the electrical wires down the rack, just past my drip rails and through the cab there. I was a little lucky, my ute has a piece of black plastic that I took off and drilled a hole in the cab to poke the wires through there, with a rubber grommet to protect the wire. hope this helps

Hey guys,

Just one more question :D For the wiring i have some pretty buff cables for it, but what i would like to know is that which is better? From each light ( I have 4) the wires come down seperatly OR from everylight the wires go onto one Main wire that goes down??

Cheers

dont know if this is right but I used thicker wire and joined 2 lights to the one power wire and ground wire. So I halved the amount of cable running down. you should have 2 power cables and 2 groung wires coming down then. I have had mine wired like this with no prolems at all. make sure the wire you use can handle the amps running through it or youll have problems
