Default Help Please!

I mounted some KC Driving lights on the windshield and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to route the wires through the firewall and into the cabin so that I can connect the wires to my switch mounted on my dash. I have an 08 JK Unlimited with 6 speed.

I have searched and read posts on this and people have said just poke a hole in a rubber gasket or the metal flashing and run it into the cabin, but I cannot find either the rubber gasket or the metal flashing

Can someone help me with where to run this wire please??

Thanks.

Hey Stealth, if you pull off the side panel of the drivers side dash that faces the door you will then be able to see the black gasket in the firewall then, if I remember correctly

I have an 08 with the 6 speed manual transmission too. I used the rubber grommet you're talking about to route my SPOD wires. It is the same rubber grommet that has the rear window washer fluid tube in it. Here is a picture of the grommet. Hope this helps.

Whew...I finally figured it out...I used the hole with the foam in front of it behind the panel - Crisis averted. Thanks!
