Default Long Time, No See.

I'm back. It's been so long since I've checked the forums guys, damn!!!

Nothing much has changed on my car, except for some tires, a few more led accent lights and a speaker job. not new speakers, just ripped off the covers in the front so I could see them shake! don't ask, haha.

anyway, I'll be checking daily again, so...

lex I do have a question though...is there any easy way for me to get through the firewall to plug some wires into the front fuse box? i have my interior LED's hooked up the the TAIL fuse inside the car, but I want to do some exterior upgrades and was wondering if there was any easy way to penetrate the firewall..?

Some of the other members I think have done it here. I have no personal experience with it.

If you open up the plastic shield above the drive side tires, you will see the wire harness go through a rubber grommet [the wires are way up there]. Depending on the age and condition of the plastic, you may like to undo all the fasteners or just a few and bend the plastic. Be safe and undo all.

Also note that the new wire has to be a bit stiff for you to push it through.
