Hi guys,
just got a 97 wrangler -
I want to intall a dome light strapped on the roll bar - which way is
the best? how should I connect it? should I use a switch?
obviously do not know much, so I am in desperate need for advice!!

cheers,
Dimitris

Dimitris,
I already have a dome light but I sure wish I had a switch at the
tailgate so keep that in mind when someone gives you advice.

Wire it to the existing interior light, that works off the door and tailgate
switches. Find a good ground, and then run two wires under the roll bar
padding to the center. Poke a small hole for the two wires, connect them to
a dome light or clear running light of a suitable size, and tie strap it in
place. If you do this carefully and with some forethought to appearance
issues, it should come out looking great. Don't forget to allow for
ultimate bulb replacement. That is, don't tie strap the lens to the light.
