Default 2011 JK - Hole in the Firewall

This may sound like an entirely dumb question. I have looked and took of allot of panels in the process, but I appear to be blindly missing with there hole is in the firewall for cables. I am trying to re-route my light switch properly and could not find it. Could someone direct me to either a photo or mysterious thread that talks about it, or just tell me where the hell it is? lol

Not sure about the 2011 but the place to go through the fire wall on the 2012 is high up on the drivers side. There is a rubber grommet that the hose for the rear windshield washer tube goes through if so equipped. I just had a brake controller installed and the RV mechanic did not believe me about this location since it does not look obvious. I really had to work hard to convince him and told him I got the information from this forum. He finally pulled that grommet and discovered what I was telling him was true.

I ran the power to my amp on the passenger side. Looking from the floor to the corner there is a rubber grommet with a bundle of wires in it. I cut a hole in the lower part of the grommet ( away from the wires ) and fished a hanger through it.

There's also a hole behind the passenger side vent, just poke through the expanding foam
