Anyone that can help would be greatly appreciated, I'm trying to install the power wire for my amp and I plan to go through the holes for the factory installed Fog Lights (I dont have the fog lights if it matters) and I looked on college hills honda.com but their PDF file just plain sucks, that and I suck at this stuff, but I cant find the damn hole anywhere and I'm getting nowhere in this 15 degree weather freezing my balls off tryin to find it, like I said I looked at the college hills website but their PDF file isn't to descriptive can anyone give me a detailed instruction or a pic as to where the hole is Thanks in advance

ok I found the grommet you were talking about on the inside and got the wire in there but its not coming out on the outside, do I have to actually take out a rubber piece to get the wire on the outside in the engine bay or should it just become visible when I am feeding it through from the inside, does it follow the wheel well or does it come out to the left of the strut tower if you are looking st8 at the front of the car?

This is where the factory hood release wire enters into the engine compartment. Use the same hole for the power wire, I used a coathanger and electrical tape to poke out. After removing some of the screws that hold the fenderwell in you should be able to poke the coathanger out. Next I zip tied the wire to the hood release cable and followed it down to the driver side kickpanel. Then using one more coat hanger I was able to pull the wire through the grommet. Just follow the path of the hood release.

This is where the kick panel/coathanger goes through, this along with other screws will have to be removed to gain acces to be able to route the power wire.

Let me know if the pictures are too big/small, or any more help.

OK that was my problem, I was under the impression that I wouldn't have to take out any screws, either way my power wire is now completly run, thanks for the help and the pics! they were extremly helpful!
