Default Interest in a rack light write up?

Ive planned my roof rack light wiring out and plan to start it later this week. Is there any interest in a documented write up with photos?

I just picked up a SD rack last week and I want to get some lights up there as soon as my wallet allows it. I wouldnt mind seeing a nice write up to see some different ideas

Are you going to route the wires inside the tubes of that rack or externally?

I did an internal route (to avoid zip ties, wire damage from cargo, cleaner look...) if you'd like a few pics...

SOOOO anyways........back to the original topic of this thread

Baja, I would be interested in a write-up on roof rack lights and it would make a great sticky because this topic seems to pop up fairly often.
