What is the best way get the wires from the roof to inside the Jeep? What did YOU do?

Drill through the roof and seal it off so water dont get inside. You could always follow the factory roof rack if you have one down to the door and slip it through the door. The factory rack allows you to tuck wires inside of them and make great wire hiding places.

I drilled a hole through my roof under the factory roof rail and then ran my wires through the rail in the hole ,sealed it up and good to go.

Another question. Does each light need to be grounded?? I have four lights and two grounds....

[mortso]

you can ground the lights to the rack and run only one groung down.
i came in through the B pilar

I ran 1 ground (12 Gauge) to all 4 of my forward lights and 1 (12Gauge) to the 3 rear. Ran 2 (12 Gauge) power wires (1 wire per 2 lights) on the front and 1 (10 gauge) power to the 3 rears.

I had decided that I'm gonna run it from the lights ---->> Along the rails --->> To the lift gate <<------- Through all the plastic molding through the whole jeep to the switches under the dash.

I might need some more wire.

Make sure you buy the AWG from a hardware store instead of the wire from auto part stores because it seems to be way better insulated.

I found that out the hard way and had to rewire after a few months.
