Default Off Road Lights

I have 4 lights on my JK (see pic). 2 on bumper, 2 on window mounts. Any suggestions on how to get wires into the cab? I haven't looked too hard yet, but I didn't see any obviously easy ways to get them in.

If you do not want to go through the firewall, you can get a remote kit from an auto parts store. All you have to do is wire the lights to the remote box switch, which is small enough to tuck by the battery, and battery. The kit comes with a remote key fob. I did this with a truck I had and then programmed one of the home link buttons on the rear view mirror to turn the lights on and off. It was simple to do.

the pics is how I ran mine. with that many wires you want a gromet to protect the wires and keep water out. they fit right through without tearing the rubber.

I did my windshield lights through the foam on drivers side. Very easy with a piece of firm, straight wire or a straightened out coathanger. You can even "Re-Foam" with great stuff if you are uncomfortable with poking a hole, but it is really not necessary at all. Good luck.
