Rack mounted lights - Cabling?

[Mikey_J Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close Mikey_J]

Hi Ya'll

I have just purchased a Tigerz11 roof rack (reasons behind this selection is I'm more tempted to hack up a $400 piece of kit then a $$$$ ARB one so no banter! I Will be modifying this to accommodate the 'moon roof' in my Kakadu) I have a 50" curved bar to mount on the front and 2 x 4" LED bar's on the rear.

What are people suggestions on how to run the cabling up to the rack?. The Curved bar has Spot & Flood and the 2 rear will be run in parallel, so at minimum i will be running 2 switched circuits? im not sure how the spot and flood will work if they can be switched separately..

Another thought i had was to run a main up to a distribution box from the auxiliary battery to house relays and power junctions and then run the switch wires back down?

Open to ideas and suggestions

TIA - Mikey J.

Thanks Piney, I like the window trim idea I was considering that myself.. or have a look at a mine spec prado and maybe take it up through the rear door.. Might run with the channel and have a connector on it so it can be disconnected if the po-po give me drama.

Exactly what I have. Some quick release connectors.

I had a 4wd with a massive LED lightbar zap me tonight. If I can identify the vehicle and owner once my sight returns I will remove their ability to breed. I have changed my mind about these now. Track lights I have no issue with but keep them off when you are on the roads.
