Would love to hear feedback on the preference of installation for the KC HiLiTES pro6 gravity light bar to the auxiliary switches. Drill passenger side through interior or under rubber driver side?

I ran the power cable for mine down the edge of the windshield on the driver side and under the plastic trim at the base of the mirror to connect with the upfitter switch wires in the engine bay. There's enough space between the windshield and the A pillar to tuck a cable. Could even use a thin strip of VHB tape if you're worried about it moving.
Any pictures of this? I've been pondering KC lights a lot lately. Started with a BD pocket kit, but thinking about switching everything out to KC.I ran the power cable for mine down the edge of the windshield on the driver side and under the plastic trim at the base of the mirror to connect with the upfitter switch wires in the engine bay.

Added some photos. Used bonded pair marine wire to make the connections with plugs on either end. Literally just tucks between the edge of the windshield and the A-pillar. I didn't do a full loom wrap on it since I'm about to install a Gobi rack over the weekend (just delivered today) and this was semi-temporary. All it really needs to hide is a wrap to cover the red wire and maybe a piece of VHB on either end to make sure it doesn't go anywhere.Any pictures of this?

I went clean as possible. I ended up drilling a quarter inch hole through the passenger side and the soft part with the bracket covers. Then if you pull back the trim on the roof next to it, there's a ground screw for the negative. You don't have to run along windshield. It works great. What it was made for. Not a Jeep... not running wire on exterior of windshield.Any pictures of this? I've been pondering KC lights a lot lately.

So far so good hooking up to the orange and brown wire? I’m about to install mine and was planning to use this method?I end up doing the clean version, drill a hole through the passenger side, pull down the orange and brown wire and connected it to the red wire from KC, then ran the black ground wire down the edge of the windshield tucked behind the trim. Now just looking for a grounding spot. Anyone else notice that the brackets on top or backwards from what they show?
