Re: Help on Wiring

Use the search function and plug in my username and the key words
hella
ipf

that should bring up a HUGE thread.
There is a good diagram in there on how to wire up lights when using a IPF or Hella harness.

For the rear lights I went with this solution:

Roof rack wiring? Use the A - Pillar or drill a hole in the roof?

It was clean, easy, and works well.

For the front lights I drilled into the roof rack, then into the roof at the passengers side. I was able to easily snake the wires into the roof rack, over the headliner and down the A pillar with no problems or removal of the headliner. The trick is protecting the wires from scraping with wireloom or a rubber gromit and using plenty of black goo to be sure it seals well. So far, so good and it looks very clean.
