Tail Light Wire Routing

Looking for your opinions here. Tail

Do I drill a hole or not?
light install needs a decision; do I drill a hole in the portion of the bed shown in the photo and run the wire through or do I just run it under the edge of the bed? I'm thinking it would look better drilling a hole and running the wire bundle through a grommet.

There was originally a hole in that piece below the bed. I think it would look better too. Here's a couple pictures from another thread courtesy of shady side and myself.




I've since trimmed that conduit but you get the idea.

I would drill a hole and go with that. It's the way it came from the factory and I think most people enjoy that little bit of originality.
