Light Bar on my roof rack.

Looks great... Obviosly lots of silicone where it goes into the airbox will keep the water out.

Howdy mate,

I did a quick write up on how I ran my light bar to my roof the other week, no need for drilling holes or running in the snorkel.

IMO buy yourself a wiring harness for $35 and save yourself a world of time/trouble.

A mate and I knocked mine on the roof, ran all the cables over a few brews and probably took 2 hours between the both of us,

Photos/writeup found here:

If you have any questions, give us a hoy,

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Out through the same bonnet/guard gap. Up behind the snorkel in spit flexi conduit via the rain gutter. Very easy, no drilling, and not that noticeable.

This is how I wired mine. No need to drill a hole in the snorkel too....

Thanks @mudski Does that let any water into the cabin if it rains? I would be worried about water running down the wiring...

Thanks @Toy-Eta I have a supa centre illuminator bar so your instructions will be really handy.

I have only been a forum member for a couple of days but there is so much good info on here. Glad I joined!!!

None mate. The door seal pushes up against it. Plus its under the channel too.... I now have two slots there, the other for the solar panels....
