Got my mounts, switch panels, when I get my taxes back I will have lights. You guys that have them How/where did you run the wires from the lights to the inside. I havent really looked at anything to figure it out, its been hunting season, and too cold to work on it outside anyway. Just looking for some suggestions.

Some people drill a holes on the cowl for the wires and others run the wires under the windshield frame, that's what I did it worked out great.

I didn't drill the cowl, I just ran them under there. I didn't want to drill any extra holes. I have never had a problem with them and they have been on for over a year now.



****FYI****
If you have to remove the windshield hinge bolts to put on the mounting brackets, heat your torx driver first with a torch, put it into the bolt for about 10 seconds, then try to untighten. I tried for a while before I figured this out. They put a LOT of loctite on them bolts and the heat softens it up a bit.

That AND the bolts are painted. That is a wecipe for disaster. Don't drill the cowl, just unscrew it and run the wires in there to your battery then to your switch.
