Wire Routing For My Two Hella 500 Lights On My Roof Rack
2/17/2003

I Have two Hella 500 lamps up on my roof mounted to my Yakima Load Warrior roof rack.
Finding a way to conceal the wiring took a while to plan, but I like the way I did it, and it has worked out great for the past few years or so.

Please ignore the mold and pine needles in the pics, as it is winter, and I don't wash the rig, and it is pretty groady right now 

In this first picture you can see the wiring coming off of the lamps and into some black plastic conduit tubing you can get at most any auto parts store.

From there the wiring works it's way down the rubber gasket of the roof.
Yes, it's gross in there.
Parking under a fir tree does wonders for that.

In this picture here you can see the wires exiting the gasket and going into the fender between the hood cowling and fender seam.

It enters into the engine bay and goes through a hole and into the bay, and from there to the relays.

Here are my three sets of relays.
They are for the roof lights, bumper lights, and the big honkin' lights I have out back underneath the rear bumper.

Here is an overall MPG explaining how the wiring is routed.

It might work better if you right click and save, then view it.

I also have more info on YotaTech in the tech section and in the electrical area on how to wire lights up to relays and the factory Toyota switch you can buy at a dealer.
