This way no holes in firewall.←Do you have any photos of the grommet. I dont like the idea of drilling holes,Thanx←No photos, sorry!All I can say is it will all become apparent what needs to be done when the plastic cover on the underside of the drivers' side guard is removed. Looking back towards the front door, there will be a wiring loom going into the cabin, in the kick panel location, via a large rubber grommet. You will have enough room on the side of the grommet to make a hole and pass your amp wire through. With the plastic cover still removed, secure the wire along the inside of the guard up to the hole inside the engine bay near the battery and right headlight.Regards,Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't even disconect the bat. I think this was on a late model vehicle also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
