In this photo there is an unused jack just under the grab bar mount.....
Would it not be easer to punch the wire hole and grommet at this point and run the wire to that jack?????

Someone correct me if i'm wrong ...but that is the factory roof light jack....and it would save a few steps and it's prewired for high current......

You did say do the wiring yourself......just a thought....
Actually, I didn't even think about that jack as being a source for power. Great idea!! Anybody know where the fuse connection/source is for that jack??

This is the install manual for the air dam. It has fuse locations in the manual.
Thanks for the write up. Looks good.

Re: SPOTLIGHT (Post-Mounted): Installation w/ lots of pics!!

Excellent write up with clear and concise pix!

Rep points for sure!

Steve maybe you could put a plug on the power cord before it goes into the grommet to make it easier for removal of the light in the event that the windshield ever needs to be replaced?
