Default easiest place to feed a wire through the firewall?

I need to know where the easiest place to feed a wire though on a 94 accord LX. I really do not want to drill a hole in the firewall

ok what one is easiest to get to from inside the car? I have installed fog lights and I need to have a power lead from the relay on off circuit to a switch and then to 12V I just need to bring the wire though to the switch. I would like to use the passenger side

Behind your clutch pedal (or the left side of your brake pedal if you have an auto) you should see a hole in the firewall for wires. It's pretty far up behind the dash, but accessible. I recommend using a long screwdriver, sticking it through, and then taping the wire to the end of the screwdriver protruding through the firewall and pulling the wire through. It's quite easy.

Yes, there is one on the passenger side, but it's the same size as the one on the other side, but has more wires going through it. That's why I chose to use the one on the drivers side.

I wired mine from the passenger side. I have a 4 gauge wire and two other wires for accessories running thru a side hole in the cabin to the right of the glovebox in a 98 accord coupe.

I read that it is already hooked up, but the passage for the ECU in the passenger footwell is another good place to pass it through. I will use it for a couple of battery cables soon .
