how can I add fog lights? 1999 escort

I want to add an after market set of fog light but I am looking for the best access from the firewall inside the car for a switch. This is an automatic transmission I seen a spot where it looks to be a block out where a clutch cable would be. Could I go through there? Does anyone have suggestions?

I would drill a small hole through that plug where the clutch cable goes.

Thanks tumbleweed. I just went out with a small drill and a hole punch and I was able to dimple the area which confirmed I was indeed in the right area (which apears to be a block out plate where a clutch/cable would have gone through if this was a manual like my other car was). I wanted to add some extra lights for occasional use because these headlights on these car suck. That is the only bad thing I have experianced with these cars and this is my second 1999 escort.
