windshield light bracket-- need to drill holes?

just wondering if, when installing the windshield light brackets, do you have to drill a hole somewhere to run the wires from the light to inside the jeep?

Only if you don't want the wiring to show. The factory drilled thousands of holes in your Jeep while manufacturing it, a few more won't hurt.

If you are useing the bolt on windshield brackets, take the cowling loose and run the wiring under it. If you're using KC's or simular with the metal loom, with a little work it'll look like a factory option.

no need to drill holes at all. run the wiring down the hole in the bracket...behind the hinge...under the cowl...into the engine bay.
