drill some holes through the roof, then seal the hole. or you could run them down the side into the door jam.

I drilled a small hole in the roof through a screw hole the holds on the luggage rack. I don't have a light bar...just mounted them on the rack. I pulled out the rubber thingy and hid the wires in that trough...ran them over to the driver's side...down that hole that I took the screw out of...then down the post with the driver's seat belt on it...then along the floor and up into the dash area...I had a toggle switch that I put between the headlight rheostat knob and the rear defrost switch.

Hope this helps
I wish I could post pictures...sorry.

just happened to think of something else...

I ran a ground wire from my lights to the adjacent screw on the roof rack. I just backed it out a little bit, put a crimp connector clip thingy on the end of the wire, and screwed it back down.
