I'd personally mount them under the bar in that spot. Get them lower oand more protection

Good point Westy, thanks.

My plan is to bring the wire along the centre pillar and through the existing wire grommets to the dash area.
But I will need a good wide sticky tape to achieve this.
Is there anything for this or is there a better way to do the wiring. The only thing I am worried about taking the wire through the door is water ingress during pressure washing.

I have two of these lights which I am planning to fix on both sides. Is there a switch I can operate light1, light2, and both lights? Like a 4 way switch?

Thanks

You can pull the door trim out and run it along the
channel under those step plates that simply snap on
I have wires running down the B pillar into the Patrol
just go easy where the wires enter when you wash it.
GQ or GU ??
I use either the yellow plastic from chip board flooring
or a straightened out coat hanger to "snake" wire through
difficult areas

Thanks for the suggestions TD, Mine's a '12 GU. I run my RCA wires for the amp on passenger side step trim so I am fairly familiar with the setup. I noticed the second row door's electrical going through a rubber grommet through the middle pillar but fairly closer to the floor so I need to bring the wires from the roof bars to almost closer to the floor, if I can workout something to stick the wires to the pillars it would be a neat hidden setup as I noticed the pillar is almost always hidden from view. I will see how I go and surely will post a HowTo once finished.

Sounds good you could run an on/off/on carling switch.
Would those telecom antenna wire [brackets work]
They are square about 25mm x 25mm with
tape on the back you hold the cable in place with a
small cable tie

Hi All,

Just did a mock-up of my led floodlight installation.

I used 40x40 steel section (not sure what they are , but that's all I had in my shed).
Hoping to use the same size 3mm thick aluminium angle section for the final.
I like to have the aluminium section to looks professional, not sure how I am going to achieve this with simple tools.

What are your thought on the installation guys/gals.

Thanks with regards,

I'd just drill a hole threw the bar and bolt threw.
