Reversing light mounted to GQ wheel spare holder.

I want to fit an extra light to the spare holder. I have figured out all the mounting details except for where to rout the wires from the vehicle to the light.
I would like to stick well clear of cutting & drilling. Is there a simple way to rout the wire from the car through the door and out on to the spares mount?

Don't know if you want to do this but i removed one of the lower bolts

from the spare wheel carrier or you could try to drill through the bolt, you

might be able to get one all ready made up but anyway i removed the

bolt and ran the cable through the door that way then siliconed it up :D

maybe you can be really tricky, and swap one bolt for a banjo bolt. has a hole thru the middle, and out the side.

For my rear aerial I just drilled a hole behind wheel carrier, painted edge, fitted a tight grommet, and ran wire thru this into door, and thru flexible rubber tube that wiper and speaker wires run thru.
