Default Running wires behind glove box

Alright, I've made the casing to fit my safcII into the glove box and have put it in but the wire for the safc is showing since I have no idea where to run it. I've seen some nice pics of guages and cd players in the glove box but where did you guyz run the wires so that the wires aren't visible? Is there room to run the wire in in the small hole where the glove box light sits (left side of glove box)? How do I even get at that light bulb cuz I can't seem to take the lid thing off to remove the light. Any suggestions? Will pics help? Thanks

PS Im going autocrossing in the car for the first time this weekend. Anyone have any driving tips for a stock sc300 5speed (haven't tuned the afc yet)?

drill a hole in the corner, the felt carpet will cover the hole.

Can it be any corner in the back?? Also, does that hole lead directly out of the borrtom of the glove box so you can run the wire from the ecu cuz I was feeling around the bottom of the glove box and thoguht there was something blocking the way? I'll look into it further tomorrow. Thanks

there is a metal plate under the glovebox area, but there is plenty of room to push the wires down to the ecu. drill a hole in any corner, you will have space to push the wires down.

here is my afc and vpc, there were a ton of wires behind that plastic cover:
