Roof Rack Fog lights and wiring routing??

[scott-bc]

I was going to add a roof rack light bar on top near the front, that's easy but I was wondering where the best and most practicle place would be to route the wires through the roof. How does a person get the wires that are outside through the roof into the interior of the truck? Would have to be a method so that the roof never leaks? Possibly somewhere near the inside of the stock roof rack mounts to the roof?

I ran two relays directly off the battery. From there I fed three 12 gauge wires up to the roof through the passenger side pillar. At the top of the pillar I drilled a hole through the roof under the roof-rack's front-right foot. Painted and grommeted the hole, then after running the wires through it, glopped on lots of electrical grease.

The wires run to an electrical socket that I installed in the roof rack (see build thread page 3). I had run a single 12 gauge ground wire from the passenger side "Oh S**T" handle. Several people thought that would not be enough as I have about 310watts of lights (about 26 amps) so I added another ground wire from one of the roof-rack mounting screws which I scrapped the paint off, then tested the connection) to the roof-rack cross bar.

That was in 2009, and no leaks to date.
