I finished my rack light install, three sets of LED lights on the rack each needing positive and negative cable. I purchased a large spool of black and red wire and 1/2 heat shrink off amazon and made my own cable set. I marked the wires on both sides so I would keep the circuits correct. I then heat shrunk it to make a nice cable. Because of the size of the bundle, I couldn't conceal it under the windshield moldings so I ran it into the rear hatch area and took it through the frame. Came out good cant see the cables and I didn't compromise the vehicle with any extra holes.

Nice! what lights are you running?
Thanks.
I hate to admit but they are $0.29 for a pair, cheap as hell, Ebay DLRs from China that I got as disposable lighting for an aquaponics proof of concept project. They lasted longer than I would have expected with the test (over a year in a high-humidity environment running 16 hrs on\8 off) so I had a ton of extras, decided I would use them for this. I used 3M HD mounting tape instead of the foam tape in the package.

Haven’t had a ton of time to work on the truck recently with work, house remodel, shelter I in Place stuff going on but I was able to put some new vinyl over my Original KC light covers.

you know sometimes you just gotta put a smile on your face.

Fixed the under hood dome light. Detached, cleaned contacts, tightened bulb holder contacts, then reinstalled. Boom!

Used eraser from pencil to clean contacts. Little box on right is not attached to anything. It's a weighted design to make contact.

Also changed out bulb to LED.
