Wire them up as normal Driving or spot lamps. Fit a relay switched by the headlamp main beam wire (use the wire that goes to the drivers side main beam filament (scotchlock to the cable you find live when the main beam is switched on at the back of the drivers side headlamp). Run at least 17 amp cable for live and earth through the bulkhead and up the side of thewindscreen pillar behind the trim and then through the roof with an appropriate grommet. You can fit a weatherproof multi connector on the outside and then plug the lights in when you have the bars on and unplug when you remove the bar.
Cheers
