Getting Roof light wiring into cab.

Ive been contemplating installing some lights on the roof and with doing a search in wiring installs ive not yet come across a detachable system of getting the wiring into the cab, or a suggested system at all.. Any suggestions or even pic's would be great thank you..

You could use one of these connectors and disconnect the lights, leaving the wiring in place if you wanted to make a removable set up..

I just ran mine down the raised air intake, along the bulkhead and then into the battery box. Very easy and no holes.

Just makes it so easy, Vehicle wiring products sell every thing you will need to do the job.
The convoluted tubing is good, fit the cables inside, then use a couple of p clips over the bracket bolts for the where the raised air intake fits to the windscreen.
