I see you're in Virginia. That could be you're problem. I hear that their laws are crazy when It comes to 4x4s. I think HF must have just figured the plastic housing was enough

His location says VA.

The wiring for them is really easy to upgrade.

I paid $16.99 Per Set. I had a coupon in My Four Wheeler Magazine In the November 2011, and December 2011 Issue's. 1 Cupon your allowed like 4-6 Sets of lights. And there good until like February 2012 So im going back for some more. And yes they come with wire and switch and mounting hardware. Only thing I did was buy bigger gauge wire and relays.

I live in Virginia. We have the stupidest laws.

I think I have an idea on what I wanna do,... on how to cover the lights. Im gonna attempt making an air dam wind deflector on hinges that will cover the lights when not in use and when needed will retract / hinge out of the way.

Figured id bring this post back. What is the best way to run the wires into the cab. I don't want to be ghetto. I can't see drilling holes in my roof, out of fear for water leaks. So enlighten me.lol.

even as a temp solution so you get no more tickets, zipties and black bags/plastic. Or just throw them straight up in the air, cant pull you over for that. no possible way they can shine on the road then.

wouldnt some just plain old soft covers for a 6-7" light work?

???? No sir that was a guenie question....all I asked was how do I go about wireing the 4 lights together to run on one switch...and how do I get the wires inside of the cab with out drilling a whole in the roof..do I just run them into the top of the door into the a-piller trim or is there an easier way?....and I was not being a smart *** of anykind.
