Woogeroo -- Running the wires was pretty simple ... but first I had to get them to come UP the stake post from the tail lights down by the bumper.

First, I set the HotLitez in the bedroll holes. The wires come out the back of the HotLite and the bedroll is open along the body-line, so it was easy to bring the wires out and down to a hole I (luckily) had in the back side of the stake post (see photo below), allowing me to run the wires into the stake post and down to my tail lights.

After poking the wires through that hole, into the stake post, I tied a heavy nut on the end of a string and jiggled it down the stake post until it fell on the ground ... then I tied the ends of the HotLitez wires to it and pulled 'em down through the stake post and wired 'em into my tail lights.

To hide the wires (see photo below), I used some black 1/4" split loom:
