Feeding wire from engine battery to int of car

Hi everyone.

I have installed a streetglow gold series underneath my car successfully. The only problem is, I need to feed the switch through my car into its interior. I have something rigged right now, but it's too embarrasing to describe.

So, can someone please suggest the best way to send the wires (switch) into the interior, I do not want to drill into the firewall.

Thanks
Pure

Under/behind the PCM there is a rubber grommet leading to the interior. You can just feed the wire through there with all of the other wires going in. This is where most people put there power wire through for stereo systems. Hope this helps.

Thank-you very much

However, could you please descibe to me where the PCM is.

Is it on the passenger side? driver side? behind the radio?
Don't you hate people who aren't that technical?

At least I know what a grommet is

Thanks

lol, my bad. Ok, the PCM is the engine's computer. It is on the passengers side of the car, behind the shock tower (large hump above wheel). It's a box with metal fins on it and can be removed by a couple of hex bolts. It has lots of wires going to it. It is right under the windshield cowl. To access it inside of the car, you will have to remove the passengers side kick panel (piece of plastic covering the side of the foot well) and the plastic panel underneath the glove box. Something I have found that works well to make the wire routing easier is to cut a section out of a hanger and tape the wire to it, using the hanger to guide the way since it is firm and holds its shape. Hope this helps, if you have any more questions just ask.
