cable installation through bulkhead

I need to install front and rear strobe lights which involves passing wires through the bulkhead to a switch panel on the dash. I need an easy way to do this without pulling out parts of the dash. Any body got any ideas on the best way to wire this in and the route to feed the cables . thanks LAND ROVER FREELANDER 2 TD4e GS

I ended up drilling a hole within a few inches of the bonnet release lever,it is double skinned so you will need a draw wire to pull in through some existing holes in the outer skin,I had to drop the wheel arch liner for access.

If you do wire up strobe lights I hope you make them inactive as soon as the car is put into gear. The thought of following a car with strobe lights flashing gives me the horrors let alone the danger to other road users. Also any modifications have the be passed on to the insurance company or the insurance is invalid Ex 2010 Freelander2 GS-e Diesel manual Silver owner

You are indeed correct but its difficult to do recovery and escort work without them being switched on .Im sure you also have read the highway regulations restrictions LAND ROVER FREELANDER 2 TD4e GS
