Default Probably another firewall question.

Hi guys, again sorry if this has been answered before, I am new.

I have a 2002 Accord V6 coupe. I am trying to run some wires for a switch. Long story short, I've given it a once over, and cant find an easy place to get through the firewall. I used to own a Prelude, and I just taped them to a coat hanger and snaked it through. However, I knew where to expect it to come out. I would prefer if the wires came out under the steering wheel, or around there, as my switch is installed below the cruise control button. (The wires are pretty small, should be easy to snake)

I searched and couldnt find what I was looking for. Anyone know the easiest location on this car? (where to snake, and where it comes out at? I dont want to drill any holes, and if I have to snake through the passenger side I will. Any pictures would be a huge help too.

I am kinda new to this car, so I'm looking for suggestions. As I said, I gave it a look over, and said to myself "screw it, i'll get online, im sure someone has done this before and knows where to go". Thanks for any help, and sorry for the noob question, I'm still getting used to this car.

Default

it depends on the size of the wire. below 10awg and you can snake it through the upper driver's corner with the factory wiring. larger than 10awg and you need to drill a hole and use a proper grommet, or access a factory hole that has an empty black plug - sometimes you can just drill a hole in the plastic plug without actually drilling metal. the hole will be above the gas pedal, part-way up, behind the factory sound pad.
