^^^Yep, keep us informed. I'm planning on ordering a roof rack, with 2 back up lights. Can you tell me if it was a hard job wiring the back up lights ??

One thing that I did, other may have too was to run the wires into a 4 plug trailering harness (+ & - Front and + & - rear). This was positioned near the marker light entrance and lays flat next to the roof rack track. I did this so I could take the Gobi and all the lights off without cutting and wires. Just a thought.

sounds like a good idea.. do you happen to have any pics of that?

Re: gobi rack lights wireing?
 

how many wires did you run from the roof to the inside of you h2? for the 6 lights?

Not currently. When the snow melts in the next day or so I'll take a pic and post it.

I picked up the harness at Napa. It was both sides of the connector with 4 wires coming out of each side.

4. I combined the two fronts 4 wires down to 2 (14 gauge) wires. Then the two from the rear

oh ok thanks.. i am just trying to figure out the best way to hook them all up .. i bought the rack with the lights on it .. but no install directions.. so just trying to figure out what wire go where with the relays and switches. thanks for your help

Re: gobi rack lights wireing?
 

Actually these 4 wires go directly to the engine compartment near the battery. They go under the marker lamp down under the windshield molding into the engine compartment.

The switches are in the cab, and the wires run out the marker light seal (passenger), down the outside like the power wires to the relays in the engine compartment also by the battery.

TIP (received from TIMGCO): Use both sides of the windshield so that you can get the windshield molding to lay flat with wires behind it. I ran the power wires down the Driver side and the switch to relay wires down the passenger side.
