A pillar light routing method.
 
Hi, just wondering what is the most efficient what to route the wiring for A pillar lighting. Just got a new set of Ridid Dually's and want to make the least amount of damage and clutter as possible.

Also where did you mount the light switch inside the Jeep. Hate to drill a 1/2" hole through like new plastic in he dash area.

Any suggestions welcome.

I ran my wires emeidetly to the right and left cowl break points then ran through the firewall on driver side. I drilled my hole above the left speaker on the lower left of the steering wheel.

If your worried about the dash, use one of the smaller removable panels under the steering column. Not a very glamoorus spot. But easily replaceable.

Thanks, that sounds like a good idea. I found a guy on CL that is selling his driver side A pillar because he mounted one of those fancy ones with the four switches. I am going to drill through that one and save mine to put back to stock down the road if I decide to sell.

I thought about mounting my rigid switches on the pillar , I'm ended up mounting them above the speaker on lower right of dash and I'm dam glad I did those puppy's are bright !!!! I have two of the round switches that come with rigid harness and when there both on they are bright I think they would bother me on the pillar. I will post a picture of my switch shortly:)
