Run a search next time!

There's a plastic boot that you can drill through on the driver's side. You can follow the hood relase cable to find it, or better yet check my registry cuz I have a pic of it. The wiring will run inside the driver's side front quarter panel.

Do it this way:
Take off the stuff around your wheel well, then youll see a rubber grommit near the door, lift a corner of that up and put the wire through it. Dont take the rubber piece out cuz its hard to get back in.

I ran mine through the driver's side fender, then through the rubber hose that connects the door to the body. Here is the how-to posted in the Audio section.

This is only good for 1 wire though.
