    I just got my big light wired up. Debating whether or not to wire the alley lights or just take em off.

    Super glad that seal is holding good, alot of folks seem to have issues with small leaks. That's why I took so much time on it to get it 100%. I've gotta come and see that FJ eventually.

    So I got my 50" light wired up (not the alley lights) but the wires are too big to fit into the channel along the windshield. Gonna need to find a way to keep em in there :-/

    Find what amp draw the light has, and see if you can get away with using smaller wire. Say amp draw on the light is 10 amps at 12vdc, get wire rated for higher, like 12amps at 12vdc, and put in a 12amp fuse to protect the wire.

    Any chance you can find a ground via your roof rack? That way all you need to run down the windshield is your power wire.

    Alley lights are handy to have.

    Mine are 20" combos that are wired to quick connects. It takes two bolts per light to remove, and I don't keep them on while daily driving; too loud.

    Ground to the mount. I'd check to see of the mount will ground to the frame.

    I could probably do this- split the cable and run the ground to the base of the roof rack. Wouldn't be hard to get it to the actual bolt going into the roof, assuming that's grounded.
