I am installing a Hella slim light 40” light bar using the accessory ready mounting points with factory aux switches. Power is run to the light however, I do not see a good ground point near where the power wire is behind the passenger visor. Why does Ford not place a ground point in this area? Wouldn’t that seem to be a necessary part?
I am hoping to avoid running the ground wire into the engine bay or down behind the glove box. Any suggestions? I have seen someone use the accessory ready bolt on the roof as the ground but the ground is exposed to the elements. I cannot place the painted cover back on as the bolts are a little too short. Trimming the black plastic that the cover snaps to does not work either.
I have watched numerous YouTube videos and they all tear up the weatherstripping or interior panels to ground.
Does anybody know of a manufacturer making a roof light bar bracket that allows the painted accessory ready cover to be placed back on? I purchased the Hooke road brackets.
Thank you for any assistance!
