Who has installed roof rack lights?
For this who have installed roof top lights, where and how did you run the wiring?
I have 2 sets of PIAA LP550s that will be going either on a modified bar with the oem rails or I'll wait for a baja utility rack

Ive been researching this for when I get a lightbar for my rack. Not many want to drill a hole in the roof to run wires so the general consensus has been to run the wires down the rack and then inside the rear hatch.

There's already holes at each end of the roof rack, with a little plastic vase-like doo-dad. I drilled holes in the front and rear roof rack end caps, cut the bottom of the vases, and ran the wiring into the truck. The headliner doesn't have to come down to reach the bottoms.

Nice on running wire through rack end cap. I ran mine between rear door and the body, along the side and drilled through body near the taillight on passenger side.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.
I'm still pretty new to these vehicles

I did this also! Worked great! I put a little silicone around it after install just to be sure no water got in there.
