OEM roof lights hardware

[bladerunner555]

The local 4x4 parts place gave me an estimate of over $600 to install the lights.
So I am going to do it myself.
I need to know the size of screws,nuts,bolts,rivets,washers,whatever needed...?

 

[bladerunner555]

Never mind
I am not going to risk the rain and rust
Any one want to buy a OEM Jeep Liberty Renegade roof light?

If installed correctly there would not be any rust, rain getting in etc

 

[bladerunner555]

My idea of "correctly" might not be the same as theres.Either way,I am going with a different option.

 

[tommudd]

Just do not follow the herd and mount a light bar above the windshield

 

[bladerunner555]

No no,won't be doing that.I've heard it can cause a glare.

Been thinking of installing a roof basket and than attaching lights to that.Yeah,it will probably require drilling,but I'd rather have it be only 1 hole,where as with the OEM lights,it would be at least 4 holes drilled,plus one hole cut(for the wiring).

 

[tommudd]

Had 4 roof lights mounted on " basket" no drilling required at all

 

[bladerunner555]

I meant I will probably need to drill a hole for the wiring.

Nope

 

[bladerunner555]

You didn't have to drill a hole for the wiring?How did you get that all set up?

 

[tommudd]

First how many lights will you have up there
All on same switch or two or more switches ?
Next ground can go to one of the bolts that hold rack on, grounds good there
Next the weather stripping that run up the side of the pillar beside the windshield has small screws hidden in behind, remove those , run wiring in behind that weatherstripping , up to the area at rear of door, if done right no wiring shows and all works well

But I've only done 6-7 like that so more than likely to some on here I'm doing it wrong LOL

 

[bladerunner555]

4 lights,1 switch

 

[tommudd]

Then just one wire of the appropriate size running down the weather stripping

 

[bladerunner555]

I'll give it a try.Thanks.

Is there any thing I can use to keep the wiring from coming uncovered by the weather stripping?

And than to get the wiring in to the vehicle(so i can connect the switch),i go through the firewall?
