I've been working on this rack for weeks getting it prepped and it took me DAYS to wire it! I've got 14 lights on it... overkill?! I don't think so! I was thinking about doing a write up on it, I took pictures the whole way through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colbywan Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 holy @!*% 14? damn i only see 6 where are the otyheres hiding at? I've got 4 straight out the front, 2 on the sides up close to the front for seeing things on the sides or whatever, 2 in the back for backin up of course, 2 on LED's on the sides in the back for long uses at the camp site without draining the battery, 4 more LED's facing in for loading or whatever I use em as running lights.. I did all the work myself. I cut ABS plastic to mount the LED's in and cut then welded vengeful's (dan) old rack stripped it painted tons and tons of prep. You think anyone would be interested in me doing a write up? Because if you think people would like it I'll do one. I took pictures from day one til today. -Colby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colbywan Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Thanks for all the compliments guys it means a lot to me! Cool, well I'll do a write up hopefully tonight. I'm running the maxi alty with a way bigger than stock battery and haven't had any issues thus far. I'll think it will handle them just fine. -Colby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Well shoot, you don't run around with all of 'em on all at the same time. Just use what you need. Nice setup on da roof, man! I like to stealth look. Maybe some day I'll be able to get a 4-door in black and do the same kinda thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexrex20 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 on my R50 i ran the wires for my four roof lights behind the weather stripping for the front driver's door. i just pulled back the seal, routed the wires behind it and replaced the seal. no drilling and no ugly wires. my wires all go to the engine bay. power comes from the battery, but switched power is from the driving lights and the interior switch is wired through the firewall.

Paffphinder1989 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Didn't take the time to read the whole epic thread, but I have had mine mounted on the stock rack. I didn't feel comfortable drilling into my Pathy's skull just yet, so i tie-wrapped the wires into a neat little bundle and then ran them through the right tear passenger door. I just have everyone pile in from the left. Hey it works. Oh and as for concealing the wires I took out the good ole dremel and punched some neat little holes in the middle pillar deal in between the front and rear doors, ran it down under the trim, under the carpet, through the firewall and finally to the switches and power. Don't know if it is the safest setup, but I am not dead yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
