How did you wire up your off road lights??
Anyone have any pictures on how they ran the power wire from the battery? I am starting to hook mine up but am stumped on how to attach the power wire and make it look somewhat decent.
LETS SEEM!!

Heres the wires inside the cab.
Under the hood I have individually fused wires coming off the battery and they are all ran to separate relays mounted on a plate I made on the firewall.
I don't have a shot at the battery but if you look at the top left of the engine bay you will see that I have all of the power wires wrapped in cable wrap to keep the clean factory look.
looking under my hood all of the wires are wrapped and hidden to look factory.
Here is the harness I made for the roof lights to make them and the roof rack easily removable by just unplugging connectors rather than cutting wires.
Make sure you use relays when you do it. That way you can run a smaller switched wire into the cab rather than the large power wire having to go inside the cab to the switch. Like I said earlier I also put a fuse on every wire that comes off my battery just incase I get a short somewhere in hopes that the fuse will blow rather than arcing and lighting my truck on fire I will be adding a fuse block at some point for the power distribution so that way I only have to have one wire coming off the battery but for now it works fine.

How did you connect the power to the battery? thats my main question. I am trying to hook up some lights but the battery I have doesnt have posts I can connect to and unlike my silverado there is no box running from the battery where I can attach a power wire to.

Ahhhh. Here you go. I used these I got them on eBay for like $5-10
Then for the wires I just used ring terminals and its all bolted on nice and securely. I can get a pic but it won't be till Monday sorry the blazer is sitting at my shop for the weekend.
