Default Wheres the engine compartment holes?

I have ran two sets of KC lights through the driver side compartment. Easy as easy can get with the rubber grommets already in place. I just installed a cb mount on my passenger side next to the console and cannot figure out how to get the wires up to the battery from the passenger side. There is not a single place I see to get these barel long enough wires through to the battery. Am I not seeing some magical door?

If you pull the cover panel off the drivers side of the dash there's a hole that's filled with spray foam. You can go through there.

There is also one behind the glove box on the passengers side. It is probably the best access point because it comes out right next to the battery.

Wires coming off battery and into the passenger compartment (kind of have to look closely where the wires run thru a fold in the metal).
