why do you need to get through the firewall if your wiring driving lights(which are what?)

just below and to the right of the battery is a half dollar sized rubber gromet. re-use the gromet by drilling a hole through it and running the wires through the grommet. it comes out just underneath/behind the glovebox

ah ok, i was thinking it might be for a fog switch.

check to make sure you got all the wires in place. and that everything is grounded

you may have switched wires on the Relay which may have also blown the Fuse. The fog lights usually come with a very good wire diagram. look over it step by step.

ok i wired it all right, it was jsut my crappy ground choice, choose a new place and voila there they go, and buying an voltometer is a great idea for finding ground places

yep and some times there is rust and paint that block the flow of ground curret, well cool, we got it worked out.

yah you usually need to sand down the area you are going to use for a ground. its better to do this just incase anyways. just so you have a really good ground connection
