I put on some driving lights and relays working off the high beams and would like to be able to switch them on and off to be legal. Where is a good, safe place to run wires through the firewall to a switch?

Does anybody have some experience and/or pictures of where they've run wires through the firewall?

I found going thru the floor near the kick panel can be even easier. most guys try to snake the wires thru the boot around the steering column

 

I go through the grommet for the hood release cable. You can run right next to the cable, works pretty sweet.

 

I tried poking a hole in the hood release cable grommet from the engine side with a coat hanger, but couldn't see up through all the "STUFF" on the inside of the car to see where it came through -- I even tried bending it downward. Maybe I just was too impatient.

I love these forums -- thanks for all the quick responses! I finally DID find a way through on my own, but I'm sure I'll have other accessory wires to run in the future, so I'll keep everyone's suggestions in mind.

Here's what I also posted on the ChryslerMiniVanFanClub forum:

I did a Google search and found a suggestion to look closely around where the gas pedal cable goes through, and drill a hole an inch or so away from that (being careful of some heater hoses behind the firewall). Anyway, I decided to just look there, not sure if I really wanted to drill holes through heater hoses, and -- VOILA! -- the previous owner had been there before me, but must've removed whatever wires he had through there, and there was a gaping hole right there. Since it had gotten dark, I simply put a shop light right by the gas pedal, and looked in through the hood side, and could see the telltale light shining through the hole. After that, it was easy to snake four 12 gauge wires through from my two switches.
