Where should I run the wires? I got a free light bar to go above the windshield and 5 new lights to put up there :D I got the lights mounted on the bar and all, just trying to figure out where and how is the best way to run the wires! Any help is appreciated!

I just ran my grounds on the bolt below the light. I condensed and connected the wires that way I could use 2 switches for 2 lights so I only had 2 wires coming down the passenger side and then they just go right above the passenger side door hinge and into the jeep and go in through the glove box from the top and I have my switches below the heater ac controls. Good luck I would try to spray those torque bolts on the windshield hinge down with some PB blaster and use a bit on an impact together those bolts out and you may strip it but you can get a screw extractor set at the auto parts store because they are better then the ones at the hardware store because the metal is stronger and should grab better. Good luck let us know how it goes. Joey

Just a suggestion because I too have a light bar. They tend to sit kind of high so I cut one inch off the inner posts and outer elbow posts and it looks way better.

I don't have the one that mounts at the bottom if the windshield. It has short brackets that screw into the A pillar up high so I can adjust the height wherever I want it. Gonna be a P.I.T.A. making sure its straight but that way it doesn't interfere with the windshield lights

Its called a rota bar. I had trouble finding it when I bought it from a guy. Any short bar mount will work. I liked that one cause it could rotate down and be out of the way when taking the soft top off
