Evening all (it is for us Brits anyway !)
I spent time yesterday playing with my Girl, she now has 2 nice shiny 8" 55w spots on her bumper ! Woe betide the next idiot who "forgets" to drop his high beam coming towards me !
Anyhoo I've placed a "pilot" style switch next to the steering wheel, with the intention of operating a kill switch for the new spots so they don't come on with the main beam unless I want them to, there will be 4 more going up on the roof once I've saved up a little.
Anyway back to the question is there a convenient hole through the firewall for the switch wires, just to save me pulling my whole dash apart to find one or to save me drilling holes I don't need ?
Thanks in advance !

IIRC mine comes in next to the brake pedal and on the passenger side (your driver side) it comes in about the same height but I have to pull my glove box to get to it.
In your case you will likely be ok on the driver's side.

Thanks that should sort it one more question is getting the glove box out easy ? I ask because thats the side where the relay mounts I've put in for the light circuit.

I've used the small grommet that the throttle cable goes through. With a little oil and a bit of coaxing you can get at least 3 14ga wires through without any cutting.
My auxiliary light relays reside under the hood; that woud be bonnet to you.
