andycharl Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 HI all, I'm just fitting spots to a light bar on my Defender, and have something that may be obvious but just wanted to check. To get the cables to the lights, I assume I drill through the roof ? If anybody has done similar, did they fit grommets for the cables?

Troll Hunter Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I ran the cables up inside the trim on the A-post and out at the top of the door. The door fit is sufficiently poor on my LR that there was no danger of cable being pinched! Cable ties then secured it to the light bar. A word of warning about light bars that fit at the top of the windscreen - unless your bonnet is quite a dark colour there will be so much glare off it that you'll hardly see anything beyond it. I've now dumped my original light bar and have mounted my roof top lights about at the top of the sloping front section of roof, on a custom designed bar, and they are very usable there. The power supply now runs up inside the B-post trim and out through the door. Again, the fit is so poor that there is no pinch danger.

landroversforever Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Mine were the same as mike's. There was space to have them under the door seal where the roof and screen frame join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynic-al Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I had that problem too. I found a bit of tape over the bottom of the lense stopped it shining on the bonnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
