New strobe lights on my roof

These first couple pics are of the light when i first got it with out the wires hidden:









These pics are after i hide the wire through the brake light on the cab:





What do you guys think? The only down fall is that i have to put silicon over the gasket on the brake light over hte cab because it sorta leaks.

looks sweet, I wouldnt have gone thru the 3rd brake light though, not a wise decision, too easy to leak...I would just let the wire go across the roof...Just wondering...How come you have it? what do you use the truck for?

Im a landscaper. I use it for snow removals. Do you think the silicone will work? I dont like having that wire run accross my roof of the cab. BTW the light already got my 2 weekly jobs lol haha IF anybody has any other advise on how to make the install look clean other then running it through the brake light i am all ears.

I had one very similar to that in green, bought it just to make the guys on the fire department laugh. They all fell in love with it and I ended up selling it to the chief.

I have the wire for the satellite radio run through my third brake light and have had no leaks with mine. I did put some silicone on like you did and its a smaller diameter wire, but you should be alright. I really cant think of a better way to run it, other than out the door like you had it.

Thanks for the comments! I put silicone in it today. I didnt know that it would make the interior of my truck smell like as* lol. Ill see how it holds up as ill go get a carwash tomorrow.
