Any Ideas?

Where the hell can i get a wire into cabin of the car!?!?!? This is getting really fusterating! I am trying to put on my new driving lights and can't find a place to run the wire into the cabin thru, I need to bring it in there for an on/off switch but dang! also, where do you think I should ground it on the inside?

Thanks for the help on my dumb questions.


Chris

I don't know if the SVX is the same, but my Legacy has a rubber plug near the brake pedal which easily pops out. I slit that, threaded my wire through and I was good to go.

egh... I gave up on trying to find a plug or rubber gromit to get it thru that would still reach the switch, so I just brought it thru the rubber piece under the hood and between the fender and body... worked alright, looks like **** when the doors open, but its good enough for now.

When I did my stereo I brought the wires through the AC hole/grommet on the passenger side and it came in under the glove compartment.

You didn't tap the battery for both positive and negative power did you? This will be the death of you if you forget to turn them off. I wired my positive lead into the fusebox inside the car and I don't ever have to worry about leaving the lights on.

there is a rubber gromet that goes right next to the brake booster for the tranny wiring harness, it is easy and clean to use that.
