That's not a bad idea, actually.. But will be too complicated to wire.

ya thats exactly why i went with the round was b/c they are the same as the headlights but now I dont really care that much but when i get my roof basket on I will prolly go the the rectangle lights b/c i dont want the lights to stick up past the basket

ooh and doing the 2 seperate lights is much harder just takes a lil more time and alot more wire but good idea tho

Those who run 4 hellas, do you use two relays? I discussed that with few people some of them recommend 2 relays, but I am not the handy type, so was thinking of wiring them all to same relay, though I don't want fire under the hood.

Four lights and one relay.

Csukoh78, I made a harness the width of the cargo rack, the pig tails coming out of the lights are in shrink wrap. Wrapped the entire thing in wire loom, drilled a hole into the Jeep's roof rack support and into the roof (used RTV to seal the hole) I then fished the wires inside the cabin and through the pillared located between the front and rear passenger doors. I got my ground from the seat belt bolt located on the bottom of the pillared. I continued to run the power wire under the door sill to the front. A few years ago I ran a large 10 gauge wire from my battery to the inside of my firewall and put a fuse block underneath the dash, I always use this for my power connections it eliminates the need to run a wire through the fire wall every time I add a powered accessory. I will post some pics later. Make sure to post pics when you’re done. Good luck!

Pics of the wiring into the roof support

Blurry pic but this is the inside of the support

Question to those that run the wires beneath the door seals,
doesn't it get hot in there? I mean the wires heading to the home-made light bar, don't they get hot at all?

Thanks.
Does anyone have pix of Black KJ with 4 hellas on the roof? I am trying to make a comparison of size and looks on Black.
The size of yours look just right, very similar to Mopar, and I am sure Hellas will look big there, but would like to see how would they look on the roof.

I did a photoshop here, but that's not to the scale..

Light bars other than Mopar?
