Im trying to run some wires through the firewall, and I am looking for a hole somewhere in it (preferably on the drivers side, but if there is one on either side, let me know). So if anyone knows...please help!!!!! lol thanks

Look to the left of the brake pedal and there should be a little "cutout" for a hole. You will have to take out the cutout and drill a hole from there.

ya easiest way is to find the cutout and use a coat hanger, it should end up in the engine bay somehow. or you could go the easy way and drill, but make sure 100% that theres nothing on the other side.

On my car, there was the cutout in the cloth, but no actual hole in the firewall. I had to drill, but comes out right at the top of the engine bay..

im just running some wires into the car so i can put a switch for these lights that im putting in. I need one small hole in the firewall, and I dont want to drill anything. someone said its to the left of the brake pedal? I have an auto). Also, i have to remove the carpet where the pedals are to find the hole right?

Yes, to the left of the brake pedal. I also have an auto.
Ok, look for the cloth that is a dark brown color and is "insulated" kinda.
You will find a little "cutout" in the cloth. You will have to take off the cutout and drill a hole. Believe me, there is no other hole that is already there. I spent 2 weeks looking.

so after drilling the hole and running wires through it, do i need to stick anything in the hole so that water or other stuff doesnt get inside the car? i know the hole is pretty small but still you know

I believe you can put silicone on it to seal it up, though what I did was make a hole just big enough and used rubber grommets.
