yep, it's the easiest spot.
You said it! Learned this from you on one of your old post. Running my 4 gauge wire was then made damn easier!!Quote:

There are a few plugs under the dash on (my) left side.
First remove the plastic part there the Hood-opener is, then you see a few plugs
You also do have to remove the Fusecover thingy to reach the plug.
they are white plugs, remove 1 top one.. then to get on the outside.
go to the left front wheel, and remove the mudflap thingy, starting from the Front door, by taking out the pressfit connectors.
you only need to do this about half way, about 7 pressfits, and at the bottom part at the Skirt there's 3 screws.
when those are out you can push the mudflap thingy away from you, peek to the right and you should be able to see the place where you removed the plug.
for getting cables to your enginebay/front, lay the cables on top of the mudflap, towards your left headlight. then when the cables are tightend up you can start putting the mudflap back to its position.
From there it should be easier ;)
Thanks everyone. I just bought fogs too so it's good to know what you guys said about that.
I just did that the other day and i was down there for a while with a unibit to drill another hole. The metal there is really thick, i am glad i have a 90º drill.Quote:

Place another ground from neg to the chassis in the trunk. Running wires from trunk inside the vehicle is a bit harder.
I'm in the same boat. I already ran my amp power through the foglight gromit... and now I want fogs. :mfrown: I see drilling in my future for sure.Quote:
