There'* a large rubber grommet tucked down a bit on the firewall alongside the brake booster. That'* where I ran the wires for my angel eyes. It'* a bit hard to get a picture if it, but this will give you an idea of where it is.

there'* a passage through the passengers side as well, I used that side to put the switch in
you have to take the glove box out to get to it though (to access from the inside) I didn't even try using the drivers side.

I used the same location as Dick.
If you peel back the carpet on the drivers footwell a bit, and go under the rubber insulation its pretty easy to find on the interior side too

I used the high tech approach to get it through there.
I cut down a wire coat hanger, taped the wires to one end, and shoved the other end through the rubber. As Toasty mentioned, it'* easy to find it on the inside. I found the coat hanger, then gently worked the wires through.

As Dick said use the coat hanger. After that I used a screwdriver and made the hole a little larger. I was then able to poke some 3/8 imch wire loom tubeing through the hole and run the wires through the tubing. Also pull in a piece of string with the wire and you have a pull string for any future wires you may need to run.
