There are several threads here about it, some with pics. There's are big rubber grommets on both sides of the car. I couldn't find the driver's side grommet, but I found the passenger's side one. There's a big nipple sticking out of it. I cut the end off the nipple, then lubed up my fat cable and shoved it in.

bahaha.. nice

so the passenger side is really easy.. driver's side is easiest to get to from inside the car.. look around the gas pedal to the right.. there's a big rubber grommet with a wiring harness going through it.. i just took a razor blade to the part where no wires were going and ran my wires through there and under the carpet

There's a diamond shaped depression near the bottom of the grommet. Poke a short sharp object, say, 6 inches of metal coat hanger, into it
and you'll be surprised where it shows up in your engine compartment. Very easy to get to. If you are going to use anything bigger, lube it before poking. The green and yellow wires you see are from my non-factory fog light install. No puns intended in anything said about poking :)

I ran the wiring under the car and up through the grommet under the spare tire.

go under the hood, put your hand on the ecu harness, follow it to the firewall. that's where it comes out
