Default How did you run 50" light bar wire

Looking to see how everyone ran their wire from their 50" light bar. Mines run into my drivers side door and down my A pillar but I'm having a leaking issue. Any ideas and photos would be appreciated.. Thanks

This is how I ran my wires also .....thru the cowl there is a space then I drilled a hole through firewall and used a grommet along with a black silicone

I have the delta bar but wiring is same ..the instructions said to run through the door frame and I also had leaks so went this route.

I ran mine behind the A pillar bracket (Poison Spyder). My light is the VisionX light so there are 3 wires (+12, Gnd, Dimmer). I put 3 16 AWG wires in 4' section of heat shrink tube so that the cable was flat. Then, instead of using the supplied flat rubber gasket between the body and bracket, I used large round rubber washers. The washers are 1/8" thick, the gasket was 1/16". So with the washers there is a little bit more space. It turns out the cable and the washers are the same thickness. The wire runs all the way down and then under the cowl. There is only about 1/2" exposed where it enters the cowl.
