Picture request for ditch light installation

So I’m trying to see how every one is running the wires for the ditch lights under the hood? I will post a picture of how I did mine for now but looking for better ideas.

 

Any one?

 

@texasrho83

 

I dont see any other way to do it other than run a harness to both pods, then through the firewall to your switch

 

Hi, Tony,

While I have not done this mod yet, I am planning to do so here this summer...

In preparing to do so, I am going to go through the “inside the holes” nearest the end of the hood where it meets cowl.



I will be placing all the wiring inside a wire loom and fish it through and only using some 3M extra strength double sided tape with some clamp fasteners at the edges to hold a clean look at/near the hinges.



Hope that helps, good luck hermano and post pics when done!

 

Thanks man. I’ll definitely keep this idea in mind

 

Hey tony! I running my wires under here.

 

Did u remove that plastic piece or just fish it thru?

 

I removed the plastic piece. I believe it was just these at the end and maybe a couple clips??

 

Fed the wire out from here

 

Doesn't water run through there from a wash or rain? I ran my wiring along the top part of the firewall where the brake lines are.

 

That open vents face the engine bay,no water gets in there from what I can tell

 

I ran mine through the back of the hood. Also added rubber grommets so that the wires were not rubbing on the metal edges.

 

I just finished running mine the same way. Made the most sense and was easy to get in there. I definitely agree that water shouldn’t be an issue

 

Glad that way worked out for you!

 

Message @porkitt and @sdde4n for pics. I installed ditch lights and built the harness for both of them.

 

Funny thing is that I did it before reading your post and thought I was super clever as I hadn’t seen anyone else mention that route.. of course I hadn’t looked hard enough haha

 

Thanks I’ll hit them up.

 

I got the bracket install, the light install and how to run all the wiring to the switch and the lights. How did you hook up the wires to power? Straight to the battery?

 

I got to go look... I just know that I have everything I need to do it. I'm probably going to end up doing it when I get to Nevada

 

You know I will! I figured it how to hook up my dash cams! I'm sure I could do this too..... Just don't want to fuck up my truck lol

 

Thanks!

 

@fisherman951 sorry for jacking your thread!!

 

No worries

 

How did you end up running your wires?
