Title: Interior Lighting
The canopy over head light wiring was supposed to be pre-wired by the manufacturer when the composite canopy was formed. Mine was not. This was confirmed by a series of emails with the company. The canopy is formed as two pieces with foam blocks separating the the pieces as it is put together. I had three options. 1) Skip the standard overhead lighting all together, 2) rig an in place battery system for over head lights, 3) tunnel like a fracker thru the curving canopy to create a path for the wiring. After consulting with engineering on structural integrity of the canopy I chose option 3. If option 3 didn't work then I would do option 2 I purchased long 12'" 1/8 bit that I could slightly bend as I manually turned through the foam blocks to create a path. Then I pulled through slightly bigger stiff wire to help make the paths larger. My borescope was put to good use to keep me straight and to insure I didn't start accidentally head for the canopy walls and punch a hole. Tedious but, successful. I pulled all the wiring for the rear push-on type lights and the forward red dimmable lights. No to make wire connector to the panel for the lights
