Thanks

Hmmm...in my old nissan i drilled a hole into the front passenger floorboard then put some rubber gorments so water wouldn't get it. It worked for me, but i am by no means a professional. Hopefully some of the other guys could help.

Nigelio,

Here's a link to install instructions for Honda factory foglights from H and A Accessories. If your car doesn't have foglights installed, you can use the route for your amp power instead. The location is on page 6 of the pdf.

Hope this helps.

If that doesn't work, just drill a hole in the firewall and use a grommet to plug it up. Just make sure that there is nothing on the otherside that you could accidentally drill through.
