Roof Lights Wiring Pass Through

How do you ladies route your roof lights wiring, through the roof? Pix please. I'm thinking of using aerospace MIL-Spec connectors.

 

Most people either drill a hole in the roof or run it up the windshield and stuff it in the gap

 

@KevinK would be the resident expert

 

I think @SiberianTundra installed roof clearance lights so he can probably help with some ideas

 

Ohh never mind checking at @SiberianTundra build page he installed solar powered roof clearance lights, wow that’s new to me and is a good option

Yes as iHacker mentioned. They work great. No issues after about 1 year use. Many car washes and trips to mountains through the snow. No problems at all.

 

Hey Franco, I used a ScanStrut multi pass for ours. 3 big wires. I used the same on Scott’s truck. They’re used on boats so it’s 100% waterproof. Ours has been up there for three years now I think.

Any whistle sound or such ? I like the bar.

 

Not with this bar in particular. I’ve hear others that do, but this company did wind tunnel testing.

 

I'm not lady and dont have roof lights, but for solar panels I went through the rubber grommet in the cabin floor then up between the bed and cab. I wouldn't want to risk a leak or rust by drilling the roof unless there was no other option

 

It’s definitely scary, but we have fourteen holes in our roof now. So far so good.

 

Dat paint job is sexxxxxxyyyyy. My pinstripes aspire to be yours.

 

Hahaha! We decided the day we bought the truck that we were gonna use it and enjoy it from the beginning. We try to be nice, but shit happens in the name of fun. This was the day after the new paint job cured.





We didn’t mean to tear it up quite so much the first day, but the trail was way overgrown. All nine or so trucks that day came out the same. LoL

 

You have accesories physically mounted up there so not really a way around it. I just think for a simple wire run, why not save the trouble of drilling holes and go through the floor grommet.

 

here are more options for clearance lights

Honestly I doth want to use remove for my Solar LED Roof Clearance lights.

I would like it to be wired into my vehicle
It would be great to have a plastic or fiberglass roof bar / cover built for them. Like Hummer
here is example:
