Question Need help getting wiring into cab

Hey guys im planning on installing a wolo hide away strobe kit in my truck. The only problem im seeming to have is finding a place to wire the lights into the cab. i already have some aftermarket front fogs going into the small empty space on the passenger side fire wall so im guessing ill be able to just reuse that same hole for my front 2 strobes. The main problem im having is how to wire the lights coming from the rear of the truck. Anyone have any ideas? if i have to drill a hole i will but id rather not. if i am going to have to drill hole does anyone know the best place to do so? ANY Advice would really help me out. Thanks

There is a hole in the floor that is taped over on the driver side, it is 3/4" so you will want to seal it with a grommet or something after you pass the wires thru.

If you pull up the side sill plate and move the carpet back you can see it.

Look on YouTube. There are lots of good videos. I think I found one by looking for F150 rigid industries in the text. Good luck.

There is a large hole in the firewall on the driver side too behind the pedals. There should be a cut in the carpet and behind it is a rubber grommet about 2"wide. I wired my KC lights thru this hole. They're for sale btw :-D

You don't have problems with the heat from the engine being so close to the wire?

I ran my threw the passenger side floor board up front. There is grommet there that has noting in it. It runs underneath the carpet so you will have to pull it back some and fish a metal coat hanger in there. That is how I did my kc lights up front. I would follow the main wiring harness so that it can't get hurt any where else at.

Not at all. I ran just 2 wires against the fender to the front of the radiator to wire my KCs. Did I mention they're for sale?
