Default Wiring Roof Rack Lights?

Hey guys what is the best way to get the wire from the roof rack lights into the cabin without drilling holes?

Run them under the windshield gasket, through a opening near the cowl/wipers and down through the firewall into the cabin.

Not to hijack, but is there any preexisting holes in the firewall to run wires through for my off road lights I am putting by the front of the grill? Preferably with a grommet in the hole.

Look for the thread "Off-Road Light Reviews" and my posts on the thread. I posted pictures of how I ran the wires. Good luck.
