Getting the wiring from the cabin to the roofrack

took mine from under the bonnet and followed the snorkel (via zippy ties) to the roof rack. Been ok for 10 years. Heavy wiring for 3 solar panels. No issues.

Why would you put spots on a roof rack?
cheers

Hi Bonz

This is how I did mine.

Hi Mr "B", I have 6 lights on the roof rack, work lights and rotating, and I ran the wire up through the snorkel from under the bonnet, drilled a neat hole in the bottom and sealed it, and another right in the top and mounted a flat pin trailer plug up there.
Its then just like a trailer from the roof rack, a distance of about 300mm, and I can also get rack off without any wire work.
Many people over the years have had to walk up and have a look at my snorkel to work out whats on top haha. Do you need some one to come a use the drill for you? :)

i did mine from a switch on dash hooked to high beam to the engine compartment and to a loom i made with other wires in it under the car inside some poly pipe and to the box on the back, in the box is a seconardy switch with relays/fuses ect that draw the power from 2 "second" batterys on the tray, the pos and neg run up the tray and from tray to roof rack to lights .............
Does a few things for me, they never can be operated unless on high beam, they can be switched off in the cab and also in the "box" making it impossible to switch them on unless you stop and get out and flick the switch, once on in the "box" it can still be turned off in the cab but still will "dip" when on low beam, they draw off the rear batterys that charge whilst engine is running ....
Cheers
