Help installing aftermarket fog/driving light

I'm trying to find a hole in the firewall to run the wires for the on/off switch inside the car. Can't find it and don't want to do any drilling or run it through the door opening cause it looks like a hack job. Any suggestions? Also, people who have fogs installed in the valance area on a 95-96 max; which brand are you using. I prefer the rectangular style. The one I purchased, the depth is too long and sticks out too much cause the vertical bars on the valance get in the way when mounting. Thaks in advance for any response

Why don't you runt it through the wheel well like the amplifier power wire.

there are rubber plugs on the fire wall. find one that you can get to & cut a small hole to run the wire thru
or you can drill a hole thru the fire wall & put a rubber grommet in

Thanks, I found a hole with a rubber grommit dead center and it was unused too. The switch has been fed inside the car but I'm still having problems installing the mounting brackets for the fogs. I don't want the hassle of cutting the verticle bars on the valance to make it fit but I also don't want the fogs to stick out too far. Maybe I can find fogs that aren't so long in depth. Any suggestions?

I remember when I did this I found the place to put em through, but I had to drill a hole, which was a big pain in the *** since I know I used the wrong tool. Took forever and a half, but it worked.
