Default Roof rack light wiring

Ok, Asking this of you guys that have done it to save me and do over's..
I got an adventure rack and going to add 4 lights to front and two lights to back. How did you run your wires into the inside? I am pretty sure I can handle all of it once I get all wires into the interior. Just wondering how some of you experts did it.

I am not an expert, but here is how i did mine:

I was setting my lights onto 2 aftermarket crossbars that fit into the rails,
i had purchased 3 packs of 2 lights, and so the wiring consisted of 3 relays, 3 switches, and a **** load of wires.

well i did the math and made my own wiring system which consisted of only 2 (one positive and one negative) wires that i had to run from the roof to the engine.

my wires start at the battery, then under the air cap, (must be removed to do so) and then up inside the front pannel to the side of the windsheild, and then under the whole roof rail plastic section, i then pulled the wire out of one of the holes that bolts the rack into the body of truck,

i hope this makes enough sense for you

Yes, I think I got it. I am going to look at it tomorrow. If I have any other questions I drop you a line. What lights did you use and where did you mount your on/off switches? I have a empty hole beside the rear window wiper control if I can find a push button switch that will fit.

My lights were from Vision somethings i cant quite remember off the top of my head, ill check in the morning if youd like, well originally there were supposed to be 3 switches but that would be ridiculous so i had one switch that i connected to everything, mounted it on the lower pannel to the right side of the steering wheel, not sure why i decided that but it worked out,


make sure if you drill on that pannel you know how thick it is at the decided section, the first hole i made the plannel was approx 3/4 inch thick (oops)

ill try and get pics to you just been really busy at work.
