there should be about 3 holes on the driver side that gos through the firewall 1 big one and 2 smalls. it shouldnt be that hard to go through one of the small ones from the inside, it should go right through or at least it did for me(98 accord coupe).

WTF? This is really easy stop making it sound hard---There is a huge hole already in the firewall for the factory fog light harness use that hole near the brake pedddle. Honda can even supply you with a gromet to seal off around the wire, how hard is that. Run the biggest wire you want it should be fine. See your dealer for directions if you need. www.Handaaccessories.com even has them online for you to see.

Hope this helps you--if you run the wire per-factory style you'll get less grief if you ever need to have it serviced. You can even run you power supply the same route as the fog light harness and keep it out of the way of things. If you have foglights even better just zip-tie to the already there harness.

hmm.... for others lookin in on this, the big fog light harness hole is in the pass. side foot well, above the ECU. on most hondas tho, i just pass the wire thru the HUGE grommet used for the driver's side wire harness.

Not too dis-you dantastic,
...but on the Gen6 (98+ Accords) it is in the driver's well above the peddle cluster. I've done a set or two for some buds so I'm postive I know where it is.:naughty: Once again, a Civic is not a shrunken Accord or vise versa, LOL

VERY EASY! Look where the battery is. Honda is very straight forward with their engineering. Wherever the battery is, follow it straight back. You will hit the master relay/fuse box, then you will see all the wiring for all the electrical accessories in the car in one big thick rubber boot. Don't matter which car it is, the boot is ALWAYS on the side of the firewall that the battery is. SIMPLE!

Pull it out toward the engine bay with your hand and a flathead, and then you will see inserts where you can slide the wires through along the other wires already going through it. Then just plug it back in.
