Dumb question:

Do Jeeps have pee existing wiring to allow for running, extra lighting, for instance, or does it require you to run wires? If you run the wires, what is the easiest path, through the cowels (I hesitate to open mine because it would require removing part of my Adventure Rack System to access them)?
Nope.

You need to run wires.

If you have the factory aux switches, there are wires out in the engine bay, one for each of the 4 switches, as well as wires inside the cab, with an ign and a batt wire, but otherwise, no, nothing.
They have no idea what your needs will be, where, the gauge of wire needed and so on. There are thousands of possible light combinations, loads and locations. Just not possible to cover every scenario - thus, the aux switch option.

I ran my snow plow control wiring through a grommet/plug near the brake pedal area in the driver side foot well - it's where the clutch rod would go through on a stick if I recall.
It can be done on the right side - but do read about some member experiences going that route - can either be painful (literally or figuratively) or not so bad, depending.

I put in the Voswitch JL400 grab handle switch kit, with power center under the hood, and it works great.
