Ok I'm kinda stuck here. I bought some cathodes from oznium to use as under glow. I ran the wire from the engine bay down through the side skirts, over the tire in the rear wheel well down through the rear bumper. over the wheel well and through the side skirt again. It works and works pretty well but I'm not happy with the way the wire is just chillin over the wheel. One side isn't a problem since I could just go up into the engine bay instead of going around through the back, but how can I get power to the rear bumper with-out going through the wheel well? I was thinking about going through the chassis but I would like a better route then that if possible. Any ideas?

word. I think I'm just going to run it through the chassis. Any clue as to what tape would be good for water proofing? I wrapped everything around in electric tape thinking it would be enough. We had a huge storm pass through today and they seemed to have held up. Didn't get to test it out to see if they still work but they should. Only problem is the electric tape is starting to come off. I'm thinking about wrapping the electric tape around with duct tape. Should be fine or is there a better waterproof method?
If you're looking to weatherproof the lights themselves, get a tube of tool grip dip from the hardware store and paint/dunk any area you think water might enter.
Don't worry about the wires unless you cut them. Then shrink tube, electrical tape, and zip tie the joint.
