Default Additional wiring from cabin to motorarea

Hi I just got my first Dodge, a Durango r/t 2018, 5.7 hemi AWD, it was slightly used with very few miles ( but in very nice condition. Lovely car! Coming from having owned many Mercs this one is just as nice to drive for a comparable model (GLS)! Since I'm new to this brand I will have some questions over time for sure. The first; here in the Dark northern part of europe I need addition lightning in the front and need to pull additional wiiring från the cabin to the motorarea, It was a bit hard to see yesterday, but is there a "hole" somewhere arund the drivers side? elsewhere?

Thanks for tips.

Replying myself...Found a way through below the breakservo..

How about canbus box connection: should be wiring available somewhere around (side/above) the drivers feet - any chance someone know something about this?

This may be of some help.

But, you really need to know what you're doing when messing about with the CAN bus. Mess up one little thing with the addressing and nothing at all connected to the CANbus will work anymore. I know just barely enough about it to be dangerous, but not enough to mess with it successfully. If you know the programming you'll probably be all right.

thnx, yes its a challenge. It worked on previous cars if finding the right cables to steal a controll signal from, in order to pull the relay for the X-light. In this case the CANM8-box (www.canm8.com), came with an instruction for this car on thisse particular wires: CAN HI: Wht/orange and CAN LO: Wht, but no instructions which of all bunches of cables in the feet area.... as mentioned, need to be a bit careful. Anyone tried this particular box? (think its US based company) ...on the Durango?.
