Roof-Mount Light Bar - How to Route Wiring
I am picking up a roof-mount light bar, similar to a Mofab, with four 6" round Hella's already mounted on Friday. The bar mounts to the rain gutters. I started planning out the install and have NO clue how to get power up to the lights?
Do I have to drill through my roof in order to run power up to them?
Light bar is similar these.

I started watching you tube videos from the "Mud-Club". If you haven't seen these videos yet, check them out. There awesome. Anyway, after watching it got me thinking of lights bars. I searched the forums and read about Mofab. But, I couldn't find anything in the US similar to the Mofab roof mount. So, I started searching Ebay - another strike-out. I searched all of craigslist and found one about 2 hours from me. Made an offer- seller accepted a.d am picking it up tomorrow. With a set of four 6" round Hellas, wired and mounted.

Check on craigslist and E-bay, one will sure to pop up. I searched for probably an hour last night, for the first time ever and found one. Keep searching.
I'm not going even to tell you what I paid for this... You heated as it is. I got a steal. Let's say, I paid an equivalent to the cost of one set of the Hella's - I am getting two sets with the light bar.

Sounds like the Ferry God Rover visited you, what a deal! I ended up finding a roof rack for dirt cheap anyways, so I'm happy enough, I just have been too busy (read : Lazy) to wire up lights

I would STRONGLY argue against drilling the roof. The wiring harness I have helped with in the past have come from the engine box and thru the plastic A-Pillar exterior cover on one side only. Then off to the light bar. you will still need some good sealant but it does not involve drilling anything on or thru the roof.
