Need to wire 4 100w KC daylighters on the roof. I want this to be a clean install. Thinking about running the wires through roof up under the plastic at the front of the roof rail. Need to run 4 10 gauge wires. Has anyone gone this rout with wiring? If so could you post some pice of the roof penetration. Or pics other clean ways to run the wire.

Look at how boat owners run wires through , works great
Why 4 wires? 4 sets of lights?
I ran mine ( 4 lights) on two switches , grounded at the roof

1 switch, 2 relays. Supply and return for 2 circuits. Going to ground to underside of roof supports under headliner. Can't realy ground to the rack as I still have the stock rails. Unless of course I ground the rack to the vehicle first.

I ran my hot wire 10ga up the plastic that runs into the channel on top, and out through a hole i drilled in the support. Grounded on one of the bolts that are in the supports
