Default Running wires through firewall? NEED HELP ASAP

I am trying to get 2 small wires from the engine bay, into the interior on the drivers side. Is there a clean shot anywhere under there. Please help me. Thanks

I ran my foglight wires down below the master cylinder ... there is a hole in the frame rail with other wires running through it ... then inside there is a large rubber grommet on the firewall with a wiring harness in it ... the hole this grommet plugs goes into the framerail where you can drop the wires from above ..

Is that right below the clutch pedal (if you have one). A really big grommet near the floor on the drivers side?

Yes, I've used that too for running gauge wires and such. Just make the hole slightly larger in the center.

you guys are working too hard... Turn the drivers tire all the way to the right. Reach in there and take a phillips screwdriver and take out four (I think four) little plastic rivet plug retainer thingy's (don't push as you turn just keep it lightly engaged and they will screw out, then pull out the clip) Then pull out that plastic wheelhouse liner - Voila !!!! you have an incredible view of a sweet grommet to pass lots of stuff through. There's a nipple just waiting to be cut off and pass stuff through there too.

Gig4Fun is right. The passenger side is also an easy place to run wire by looking just inside the fender well (right next to the orange radio antenna wire)

I ws taking about pulling the wheel well liner on the drivers side.....(or passenger side for that matter) That's how you can get to the easiest place to put wires through.
