    Greetings All,
    2017, Sport, Double cab, 4x4 6 Speed manual-

    I have some fog lights for my bull bar and looking to wire them up this weekend, but looking to see if anyone has a tried/true/easy way of routing the wires through the firewall.

    All recommendations/suggestions are welcome- pictures a plus!

    Thanks in advance.

    There’s a rubber boot on the driver side fire wall.

    Thanks for all the replies to this post I had a few weeks back. Looks pretty straight forward.

    2nd question. I need a switch for the lights. ID like to use the switch blank in the middle below the temperature controls and next to the phone charger switch (I can post pictures later if needed). From what I can tell this is the "Small style" switch. Any brand/website recommendations?

    I've checked out Cali Raised and they only have 3 options in this size (that I could find). Any other websites if checked out don't confirm they will fit in that slot for the 2017 +.
    Thanks again in advance!

    Check out Air on Board, they have a good selection.

    Thanks. As I've been looking into this it looks like using that center panel is going to be painful to remove from what I've seen on Youtube (unless someone has an updated video/link). I'll likely just get a switch panel from Cali raised to put on the drivers side cubby.

    Thanks again!

    much easier task, IMO. Takes less than a minute to pop off, remove the blank and add in the new switch. Plus, it's right next to where the wires will come in through the firewall. Win Win.
