I don't use an overhead light bar, but I often have a star link dish on the roof and almost always wire extra circuits for future growth... I'm going to put this directly above the dome lamp hole for easy access / service.

P.S. I use Custom Connector Kits for most of my connector needs. Super helpful folks with tons of inventory.

Bulkhead connectors are pretty common. For the easiest install find the ones with pigtails attached on both sides. The result is no need installing the pins and no need for a special tool. No need to buy the expensive aircraft quality. Do a Google search for "bulkhead connectors with pigtails". I have used several different brands with 2 pins, 4 pins and 7 pins
