Thogert, how do you have the roof lights setup to the switches? And how did you run them to power?

I have the two outside lights on one switch, and the two inner ones on the other.
I ran the wiring from the bar to the windshield trim and tucked the wires in there.




Then I just ran them in under the door trim to the switches. There is a place in the firewall you can run them through, but I haven't gotten around to doing it right yet. I also need to run some relays once I decide to get around to it.

Either that or the battery. I personally run it through the fuse block. It creates less clutter imo.

I dont fully understand relays; If somone could explain?
And would 600 watts of lighting be to much for the fuse box?

Jokes aside, I think this light switch mod was only possible with the RHD trucks. You've got the 4x4 switch in the equivalent location - I think.
