LED light bar wiring

The best/cleanest way is to drill a hole at the bottom of the roll cage, and at the point closest to the light bar, and fish a string through the cage and pull the wires thru. It's kinda a pain, but the reward of a good clean install is worth it. You didn't mention what vehicle you are installing on, but I know that the new "non round" roll cage on the 900's and 570's are a pain for running wiring inside, but I managed to do it for my 6" reverse light that I mounted on the back of the roll bar. The traditional ROUND tubing roll bars are a lot easier to fish the string and wires through.

wire wrap and wire ties are the easy and simple and quick

Thank you pondskum. I have a 2015 900XP. Wasn't sure about the whole cage thing. Like you said old round style cage would be easier. My father in law is a excellent fabricator. So we are gonna weld some tabs to the cage and make mounts so lightbar is out away from windshield. I will post some pics after the install is done

I'll try to remember to snap a pic of where I drilled my cage later on. I'm at work right now, so don't have access to take pics.

Full draw, EMP sells a clip-on (bolt-on) side mirror specifically designed for the non-round 900 ranger roll cage which, because of the rubber gasketing on windshields, and I presume, on doors; does not interfere with the use of either. I have approached them, unsuccessfully so far, about fabricating light brackets using their mirror attachment design, to provide more flexibility in placement and removal, and less effect on finish than welding would cause. Having thick trees and brush in my riding area, I'm not sure if I would want my lights mounted just above the hood, or just below the roof. Just throwing this out for an option to welding.

TG. Thank you for the input. It seems like mirror mounts would make it wider?? I'm doing a 42" bar. I definitely don't want to go above roof. And just above the hood would be wasting good light. I dont bushwack so to say. But get into a low limb once in a while. Was thinking about fabricating a brush guard for the light. Guess I will have to get it on first
