Well you did a good job snucking that wire in there id just go ahead and hook that summabich to a flip switch and then run the other side of that switch to like your radio fuse then take that ground wire and weld it to your frame with some 6013 rod id cover up the loose wire with some duct tape that will look real good specially if your truck is silver you are good to go then you flip that switch and bam you got some lights so you can see to tie that noose in the tree at night

Translation:

Hey guys, I installed a light bar and now I am wondering how to run the wires from the light bar, into the car to a switch, and to the battery. I want to hide the wires as much as possible.
As far as the last two sentences, you got me, I have no clue.

English must not be your first language...
ANYWAY, Unless you want to drill a hole in your roof and risk it leaking, that's as good as its gonna get.
