Roof Lights Ingress Point?

[WBechiom]

Heya, gang. I got my Ridged D2's today (Driving and Hyperspot) and I intend to mount them on the tabs on my roof rack. I'm going to have someone else wire them for me, and I was wondering how they normally get the wires into the cabin. Is there a way to use the shark fin hole? I don't want to lose my antenna, but I REALLY don't want to drill a hole in my roof.

If they can use the antenna hole, could I ask them to run the power inside the tube of the roof rack, and have it exit just above the fin?

You don't run them directly into the cabin.

The rack mounts can be used for ground, so just the power wire(s) get routed down a rack leg and then forward under the rain gutter plastic and then there is a fairly large channel down the outside window frame which empties right into the engine bay. It's like they designed it that way on purpose!

From there you can wire through the main firewall grommet into the cabin.

Oh and uh, if a rack mount bolt is removed, make sure they re-silicone it when they put it back! No roof leaks!

Can also be run to the back and in through the spot where other wires go in the hatch, plenty of pics around. Basically goes in the headliner then down and back, with the small amperage those lights draw wire gauge is less of an issue.
