Mounting running lights on the bow railing

I'm not sure if it's originally installed this way, but on our 1983 MK I, Hull #0076 the forward running lights are on either side of the hull on the bow. The problem is that a previous owner installed a windlass and now the anchor hanging off of the bow blocks the running lights, which makes them unsafe. I want to mount the running lights on the bow railing. There is a hole on the bottom of the bow railing for running wires into the anchor well through one of the rail fittings, but I can't for the life of me figure out a way to fish wires through that hole and into the anchor well without taking the railing off. Any ideas?
