Default Easiest Way Past The Firewall for Electrical?

Any tips on getting past the firewall guys? Me and my friends had quite a bit of trouble getting some wires connected to the ignition. We were thinking about routing the wires through the steering column but it seemed pretrty hard so we quit. But any info would be appreciated thanks.

What did you use to push the wires through? We were thinking about an old wire close hanger but we only had plastic

Look behind the glove box. There is a gromet you can put a hole in a run all your wires through.
