Light Bar on Roof Rack
hey guys,
just looking for some recomendations on how to run my power wire from inside the cab to my light bar that is mounted to the roof rack without drilling through the roof at all.
There will be 6 - 100w lights, i figured with all six on it will be pulling just over 7 amps, will one 14 gauge wire be able to handle this? or should i run 3 power wires to each set of lights?
thanks!

If Im not totally lost I think you´ll need 8.3A/light (totally 50A) or?
P/U=I or am I totally lost
To my Lightforce´s I use 2x6mm² for each light or you will loose a lot of power in the cable´s.
