    Passing wires through firewall

    Anyone know if there's a way to pass some wires through the firewall? Im trying to wire up a horn and a led light bar, and need the switches inside. Also does anyone know how to remove the trim pieces around the mirror controls and traction control button? I plan on mounting the switches in there. Thanks.

    I also used the grommet on the right side near the passenger's foot area. However I couldn't find any near the driver's side, so I removed the wheel and lining and drilled a hole into the driver's foot area. As for removing the trim piece I believe there was one phillips screw on the bottom and then you can just pull it off (if I remember correctly). The blank buttons pop out rather easily from the back

    Hi anog,

    Regarding to the right side you are talking about this rubber, right?

    I want to pass a front view camera cable through that grommet, it is only necessary to take apart the wheel and the lining? The lining is easy to get off? Is just to take off all that clips?

    Thanks in advance.

    Since you have a CVT you can just drill through the circle on the right side of the engine bay. That same circle would be filled if you have the manual. Just make sure to seal it good.

    Unfortunately is a manual transmission. I think is the clutch cable that is in that hole. Thanks for the tip
