The weather finally turned bad in Moab, so I started on wiring up the roof rack lights.

Today I wired up the junction box I値l put on the rack. I知 doing this so I can run one 4 conductor wire up the rain gutter. Then once on the rack I can split to the two front LEDs and one rear/reverse LED.

More pics here: https://robonza.com/beetle/index.php/2024/01/15/wiring-rooftop-lights-on-my-baja-bug-part-1/

I知 thinking this a 3 or 4 part job.

One more from this week.

Got the lights installed this weekend. I am really happy with how everything turned out. You barely notice the wire going up the gutter. And the distribution box on the roof is basically hidden.

Today my buddy showed me how to adjust the valves. But what is more important, check out his amazing Baja.
