02 crew cab, frist responder looking for help

Hello all,
I'm currently adding some hideaway strobes into my 02 POV and was wondering if anyone knows of a good place to enter wires from the rear of the vehicle? I'm not wanting to drill any holes and worst case I'll go through the firewall with my other runs and run down my door jam. All my connections are behind my rear seat.

The truck comes stock with four unused wires in the harness entering the cab from the engine bay. They are not connected and sealed on the ends, and you should be able to locate them near your brake master cylinder on the drivers side.

This is how I've got everything currently running into my cab. Works good there. Looking at a possible rear cab entrance for some rear lighting. I'll go through the front if need be but if I can save 10 feet of wire runs I'd prefer that.

Understood. I'm not aware of any existing penetrations from the rear into the cab, but I believe there are some grommet holes you may be able to utilize... I just don't recall from the last time I was behind the back seat in my truck.

There should be two vents of sorts between the cab and the bed you should be able to fish the wires through.

Seen the vents. Looks like a pain to get to. I'll be considering them once I get that cloth covered panel removed. By that time I might just say screw it and drill me a 1/2" hole and throw a grommet in there. lol

There's also some rubber plugs in the floor under the carpet. Remove the door jamb, pull up carpet, and you can reach under the carpet and feel the plug. (easily seen from below.) Either drill through the rubber to run the wire, or remove the plug. There's one right under the drivers feet you can run the wiring up into the cab and under the carpet to wherever you want to go.
