Default Firewall usdm GS300

Anyone know where it is in the engine bay and how to get to it from the Inside? Pictures would be cool.

the fire wall is the wall between the engine and the interior of your car. Remove the front carpets and start looking from there.

Look through the engine bay side, you may have to route it through some plug with other wires, would be the best bet

Or you can drill a hole and put the wire through it to keep it air tight still.

Well, heres how I did it, on the passenger side, remove the carpet and the glove box, theres still a mess of AC stuff (such as the evaporator ) in your way, However stop right there and go to the engine bay passenger side, there should be a rubber sleeve starting from near the intake manifold and leading to the passenger side of the engine bay. It has 2 10m bolts holding in, Unscrew this and give it a tug, and U should now now be able to see into the AC area I was talking about earlier, You can send some wires through the engine bay side and they should come out into the passenger side, if they dont just reach your hand up there and ull find em.
