What the raptor guys have done is run the power wire in the gap between the windshield and a pillar and then use a black silicone over the top of it to keep it in place. The aux switches will most likely NOT be connected to power anything at delivery. You will have to connect the wires that pass through the firewall from the engine to the cab to the aux switches. They will likely be in the passenger footwell. Those pass through wires are already connected to power so you’ll then connect the power for the aux lights to one of the pass through wires and then ground the light to the chassis. So most likely, all connections will be under the hood which is why most people would run it down the a-pillar.

Unless ford comes up with something fancy. But I doubt they’ll have holes drilled in the a pillar for hiding wiring. Not sure how that would work for structural rigidity in a rollover.
With a removable roof, the Bronco may have some advantage for routing wires.

I was thinking about that but was also thinking how the top might pinch a wire going over the top. Does anybody know how the Jeep guys route wiring that’s over the windshield?

I will be adding some after market lights but I think I will wait until I see the accessories. This way I know what route I want to go.

JK wranglers have the zip up padded covers on their roof structure. I hid my CB coax and some rear flood light relay wires under the zippered covers. Most jeep wrangler folks go through foam at the corner of the dash to get to the hinge area under the hood when running aux relay wires to front accessories like light bars and stuff.

Installing a set of 8 on my 67 as we speak. The FE will get them ASAP. I use them often to chain up in the mountains, inspect before, during and after trips, and I like it when the auto start turns theM on as entry lights.

Have it on my side by side and Jeep...depends on how accessible the wiring wiring will be. The pre-wired aux switches will be very handy..

Who tf wears suede shoes when they're drinking an iced-mocha-frappe w/ extra shot. Everbody knows you pair suede shoes with a triple americano latte with caramel. I'm starting to think you don't even go to the mall, Jimmy.
What I'm worried about is that you actually knew any of those terms.
:unsure:

Also best wire connectors I’ve used...no need for soldering. There’s others brands so shop around..

What the hell is a frappe? Is that a kind of coat? Jacket? Bronco drivers drink their drinks hot, black or straight up...
