Replacing dome light harness...

Hello all. Seems my dome light has fried. I want to replace with new, and replace the wiring leads to the light itself. How would you replace those wires?

I'm assuming taping the new ones to the end of the old ones and pulling them through that way? Just curious.

Thanks

I would say that would be the best way, I pulled mine when I took my cab to be blasted. I am hoping theres enough curve to the cab that I can fish them down from the top.

that's how i did mine as well, wasnt too bad - seems like the hardest part to get to was actually over by the fuel filler neck

That sounds like the way to do it. You could also use a fish tape.
