Running wires for step lights question


Recommended Posts

Posted

So I've been reading all of the mod threads I can find and I've done quite a few already.  Just finished the interior aux lighting beneath the dash and back seats.  Now I'd like to add some lights to the steps.  I'm just not completely sure how to best run the wires.  I've seen mention about going through the firewall but others mention a grommet under the carpet.  I think I've found what people are referring to but does anyone have photos of how they ran wires this way?  Once you punch through the grommet, I believe there is a plastic cap on the outside isn't there?  Are you just adding some silicone or something to fill any holes once the wires are run.

I have plans to do this in the future an did some brainstorming..

 

I recently added the pop lock tail gate locking mechanism and followed this video on Milkcrate82's page:

You'll see at 8:25 he starts working on the driver side and there is a grommet to push the cable through, as well as the passenger side - which is plastic and I would for sure use silicone after making a small hole, I wouldn't remove the whole grommet by any means.

 

The driver side - just poked a hole and pushed the wires through.

 

Keep us posted, I'd like to see some out comes of the lights.
