How do I run wires from engine into the passenger compartment?

[ArrestMeRedSHO]

I'm trying to install some PIAA 900 sereis combo fog and driving lights but I can't figure out where to run the wires fo the switch through the fire wall. Please help with suggestions on the best way to do this. I know you car audio guys do this a lot so it should be possible.

This is how I did mine. There is a hole where the antenna cable runs thu and I just got into there and ran it thru to behind the glove compartment. If you take the splash guard out of your passenger side front wheel well you'll see it. It's large enough to pass the cable thru. It was the easiest way I could think of without drilling another new hole in the fire wall. Hope this helps.

Edit: BTW, from the engine compartment there is a small hole that you can pass the cable thru to get to the inside of the wheel well. It's easiest to find if you take a flashlight and shine it up thru the wheel well. Follow the light and you'll do fine.

Ya know ... never thought of using that hole for the antenna. There is ruber gromet above the steering shaft. That is where my Amp wire is located. Hope this helps.

Always use a rubber grommet at the *********** to prevent wear and shorting of the wires.
