H3 Light bar wiring

[stealth 07]

I plan on getting a bolt together defender rack and fabricating another segment to make it longer, around halfway up the front doors. I'm having trouble with finding a thread about wiring aux lights from the rack and down the a pillar. Is it possible to run the wires under the plastic molding with the metal railing up top or will I have to cut into the plastic to get the wires to the a pillar?

I was able to slide the wires right under the a pillar trim and the roof trim. With a little muscle it went right under the trim. Watch the clips though. They're pretty fragile.

This X3 but i'll show you how it's done the grommet on the I5 H3 is in a different location, but it's pretty easily accessible.

Haha I gotta start taking pictures of my jobs. My wire is all the way up at the top of the a pillar trim so it would put pressure on the windshield trim. Only difference here

If you could try and run the wires to the fuses box, just cleaner and won't be a pain with the battery terminals.

Thanks guys this really helps me out and the fuse box would be a good route because I already have enough cables running off my dual batteries. I'll post up pictures once it's all done!

Also: rather than running a bunch of wires from the fuse box - because if you have a bunch of accessories, you have bunch of wires - use something like this with a single lead to the battery. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000THQ0CQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Very fragile, broke mine running my wires

Wired mine into the oem roof lights and just put a bigger fuse in its place works fine and the wiring for the oem lights goes up the pillar as shown

I would suggest a separate fuse holder connected at the battery, that way it's more easily accessible, and you don't have to try to cram more wires into the fuse panel under the hood, sometimes causing it to not even close properly!
