Fitted spotlights to a roof bar on the front of a roof rack on my 93 Isuzu trooper 3.2 petrol. Identified the right wire to control the relay for main beam. (Yellow on o/s upper connection block)
Hooked wiring to the relay and brought in a fused feed.
How can I get a wire from the engine compartment relay up to the lights on the roof? Looks like I will have to drill a hole in the roof and that worries me a little. Embarassed

Also any ideas how to pull a pair of wires through the bulkhead into the drivers bay for the switch? Shocked

Right next chance I get, I feel inadequate with 4 spots on the roof and no power!!!! Embarassed

By the way there are 3 Pairs of holes for mounting roof racks (M6 threads) on each side of the roof in the gutter under the strip, covered over with tape and then painted with the body to HIDE THEM. Wink
