URGENT*** please help

I am trying to install accessory LEDs and to mount a switch you have to lead a wire through the fire wall. Does anyone know how to do this?? Are there any small gaps or places to lead a wire through???

Look for a rubber grommet that other wires are passing through and piggy back it there. Look from the engine bay and from under the dash.

A better way to power low draw accessories like LEDs is to tap into your fuse box. Look at the interior fuse box and find the fuse slot for your windshield wipers (or an empty slot). Use a multimeter and check if that slot is powered when the ignition is on the II setting or if the car is on. This way you won't kill your battery if you accidentally leave your LED lights on.

Then use something like this to power your lights.

i just ran a 4 gauge wire through the firewall and it was a bitch! On the passenger side of the car there is a rubber grommet with a bunch of wires going through it. I tapped into that and pass the wire.

There should be something in the firewall as stated before, anyone have a picture of the firewall, I am more of a visual person.

Let us know if you were able to get access, I am going to have to check maybe I will need it when wiring the sub
