I picked up some Hella 500 driving lights. I need to fish wires through the fire wall. The problem is the wires that I have to fish through have flat blade female ends on them so the hole would have to be about 3/8 to clear. Should I just drill a hole or is there a secret hole with a rubber gromet somewhere where I can fish through.
Thanks Da Obie

 

When I installed my aftermarket fog lights, I drilled a small hole through the big rubber grommet that sits about straight behind the brake pedal and a foot or so higher on the firewall. Didn't even make it very big, just big enough to handle the wires, and then pulled the ends through using a small piece of stiff fencing wire.

EDIT: I've heard good things about the Hellas. Make sure and post pics when ya get it done.

 

thats where mine was.just look at the master cylinder and fallow the fire wall down you should see it,it about an inch big.

 

I run all my wires through that big rubber grommet too. My fog lights had ends like that too. I just cur them off, ran the wire through the firewall, and crimped on new ends. No big deal.

 

After running wires through the fire wall I always use some blue form-a-gasket to seal it up. Easy to apply,waterproof, it will stay flexible and you can peel it off if you need to run a wire through later.

Same here.
My Hellas have been great.

 

i find once that grommet is filled with lots of wires, its easier to use a ballpoint pen, and feed the wire through the tube, then slide the pen out again.

 

Damn Sinister...good idea!!
