Windshield lights wiring pics needed
I have mounting brackets and Rugged Ridge lights to install on the windshield brackets. I would appreciate pics of how you ran the wiring into the Jeep.
Thanks,
BH.

Where the wires come through the firewall
Feeding wires under cowl
How the wires look when cowl is re-installed
Switch Location if you want to drill
Switch location if you want to add more cleanly

You can see the covered wires heading back to the firewall. This shows where I directed them

These were the only pics I could find quickly for you. PM me if you have any questions and maybe I can round up some more. These were all Hella's, FYI!

Excellent! Thank you Orangeav. You did it just like I was thinking about. I think I like you brackets better. I have Smitty Built and I don't think they follow the contours like yours do. I have to check them. Who made yours?

Mine are Rugged Ridge brackets. I really got lucky, because after working on some of my buddy's rigs I learned a lot about the position of these mounts. Some of the mounts out there put the bolt that secures the light to the bracket uncomfortably close to the cowl.
