Default Putting wire through firewall

Where would be the biggest hole that i could use to put a wire through my firewall? I'm installing my underglow and if possible i would want to put it through the fire wall, but as of right now i can't find anything big enough, the plug is about an inch wide, but only a quarter inch if that thick.

there is a large rubber grommet that your main harness goes through. you can use that. lay on your back on the floor under the driver side dash with a flashlight and you'll see it up there.

there are wire grommet paths on both sides of the fire wall,just untape the ends and get a coat hanger and push it through to a person on the other side,then tape wire on to it and feed it through,once in place retape the grommet and good to go.

I used the one behind the glovebox. you can unscrew the ecu box and you can access it very very easy. A lot easier than the driver's side one. I used a small knife to poke a small hole and pushed it throw. If I can do it, you can do it for sure...cause i had know idea how to do it at first until i decided just to go for it. plus mine is a 4 guage wire

yes, it will come out somewhere behind your throttle body if you use the one on the drivers side.
