If your car is auto you can run them through the clutch cable hole.

I'm with LOWAU, i ran mine through clutch cable hole, otherwise you could use the hole where the bonnet release cable goes through? Just "modify" the little rubber grommet thingy?

Ive already used my clutch cable hole for my thick amp wire and that was a tight squize for it. Ive found another hole behind the washer bottle which is on the right hand side. To get it through, I popped open the passenger access for the airbag and used an old coat hanger to pull my wire through. Thanks for your replies.

I think you are confused between left and right - not related to my wife are you?

Best place is the hood release cable grommet.

if u try and squeeze wires through withou grommet u may run risk of shortening them out

Don't mean to be picky but EVERY car has only one left hand side, it doesn't matter which way you are looking - just like a horse LOL.

PS ... and, just like a horse it is the near side ...
