For the drivers side, there is a rubber stopper thing under the brake "pump" (?) (the thing that looks like a big disc). On the pass side is another rubber stopper by the 02 sensor, but on the fire wall. Sorry for the **** poor descriptions.

Just get a long wire hanger and straighten it as best you can and fish it down to the "****-poor described", LOL, plugs he mentioned and tape the wires to it from the engine bay. Then, pull through. The first wires are kinda hard to fish through, but after that they become easy cause you get the hang of it more and more as you go.

Step 1: Drill hole.
Step 2: Shove wire through.



But seriously, there are a bunch of rubber plugs in the firewall. Usually I puncture one of those, then put my wire through.

Even with a smiley, that's scary advice.&nbsp At the very least, use a rubber grommet to keep the wire for being cut to shreds and shorting itself.

I use the speedo cable hole, since I have lots of wires running through.
