Question Wiring from enginbe bay to cabin

Howdy, I have installed a LED lightbar behind the grille on my MD, but I need to get the switch wire from the engine bay into the interior to mount pon the dash (or under somewhere...

Does anyone know of a good place to get the wires through the firewall?

I ended up leaving the switch for mine under the bonnet, and just using a relay and high beam active to turn my driving lights on and off.

There should be a wiring rubber grommet somewhere on the firewall that you can feed the wiring through bedside the existing wiring.If not drill a 5mm hole and put a dob of silastic on the wire to seal it

(If you are likely to tinker in the future, run some 5 or 7 core trailer wire - that way you only have to do it once and you have a few spare circuits for gauges and accessories)

Very neat!

Personally, as this is about as close as I'll ever get to an Aston Martin, I feel like 'round' is calling me:
