Passing Lightforce 240 wires through firewall

[pequiod]

Just put a set of lightforce 240 blitz lights on my 2000. they were like mounting garbage can lids to the ARB bar, but they fit without problems.

Anyway, where is the best place on the firewall to pass a wire or two into the cabin so i can wire these things up?

Been through the repair manual, but no luck. Trying to make a plan before proceeding.

thanks, Pequiod

I hope you are using a relay system. On US trucks, there is a grommet on the DS firewall that you can go through.

Yep, using a relay and 30 A inline fuse, but i'm wiring a swich into the pass compartment, and need access through the firewall for a switch wire. i'm taking my time; never wired up a set of lights before. thanks

You may need to use a long blunt end poker, like an Allen “ball” driver to help it slip through the grommet (I used a 9/64). I striped back some insulation, wrapped some of the strands around the poker taped it in place. This will allow it to slide next to an existing wire without causing damage. You can use some soapy water to help it slide, if it’s too tight.

i have used a coat hanger to slide wires through the rubber grommet with good success in the past
