Light Bar

Anyone know any tips on running the wires for lights from the light bar to the battery.....I'm trying to think of what would look the cleanest or just how to do it really? Thanks

Is it like a roll bar mounted in the bed or a roof top light bar? I have a roof mounted one on my 84 F150. I just ran the wiring tight against the backside of the light bar and wrapped it with wire loom material. I added a 3 pin trailer style connector so I can remove it from the truck if I want to. I ran the wiring through the driver's side door opening, behind the A-pillar trim and into the dash. It looks good and I don't have too many leak problems with the door seal. If it's bed mounted I would do similar and wrap the wires nice and tight with electrical tape and cover them with looms. Just snake it along the underside of the roll bar and run them though a hole in the bed floor with a grommet. Then run it along the frame rail and up through the firewall into the cab.
