Here is a video by member TX_Firefghter that may help.
It is for the interior cab light but may help with the roof cab lights.

Re: Trying to run a wire down the A-pillar - Help!

I love this board!

motorcritter - I never would have thought of a speedometer cable. That's an awesome idea.

SS Tim - that is immensley helpful. I definitely would have thought the hole was further forward. Now I see why I couldn't get the wire in there.

Hutch - thanks. I had seen the video once before sometime, but I haven't got access to a compressor during the week. If I can't get it done today I'm going to a buddy's who has a compressor over the weekend.

Thanks folks.

Once I actually knew where the hole was, I bent my coat hanger to shape and got it down the pillar first try. Took about 8 minutes to pull the wire, including the time I spent trying to find my flashlight and using a pick to pull the coat hanger out through the 1/2" hole I had drilled under the dash.

Thanks for all the replies!
