    i am trying to wire 2 sets of LED light bars and i would like to have some sort of help. i don't exactly know how to wire it to the battery and how to get it through the fire wall. or even how to access the firewall opening on the inside of the car. i am trying to wire some switches in the free spots under the radio on a 2014 tacoma, the spots are located near the cigarette lighter ports between the shifter and radio. and i would like some help with how to remove that panel so that i can install the switches. any help will be greatly appreciated.

    thanks all

    The temp control panel is held by clips. Take a small flat head screw driver. Then pry it out. You should have access to the rest from there.

    The fire wall should have a pretty big rubber grommet on the driver side.CCarefully take a knife and make a slit in it. Feed wires in and go find them from under the dash

    It's hard to access from the top. It can be done but it's a tight fit reaching w ur hands from the top, pita.

    Easier / more access by removing the center console and reaching up to them.

    If I remember correctly you take out the a/c panel, the panel under the steering wheel and the glove box to access the bolts that hold that panel in. Possibly the front of the center console too.
