Default Running Wires through Firewall Help

I am currently installing a underbody kit and am having problems finding a place to get the wire for the front tube into the cabin of the car. i am using ozniums flowlight single color kit. I would like to not have to drill a hole through the firewall at all costs. if anybody could help i would greatly appriciate it. thanks

Run it thru the rubber grommet near the steering column. Use a screwdriver or fish tape to help run it thru. Just be careful not to mess with any of the other cables.

You cant miss the gromets on either side of the engine bay.. look just past the strut towers and you will see a rubber circle gromet.

Just look for the harness already running thru. There are two of them, one on drivers side, one on passengers side. poke a hole from engine compartment into passenger cabin, if you use a coat hanger, pass it thru, make a loop in the end, tie a sting or wire, pull it thru,tie your wires to the string/coat hanger, and pull it back thru.

locate the grommet on the firewall (battery side)


tape the wire the the end of a dull flathead (see the red handle?) and push it thru. this picture was taken looking up the dash from the clutch pedal


hoping this picture explains where you are looking in the last photo


find the end of the screwdriver you pushed thru, and remove the tape (it's red)


pull the wire thru, then go back around and remove the push tool
