Question FireWall

Hey everyone I have a question I would like to ask to maybe save me some time and trouble. I own a 2000 ford F150 Lariat V8 5.4 L and I would like to run some wires through the firewall for some fog lights and maybe an amp wire, just wonder if anyone has done this and if you know the easist opening in the firewall to get to and to go through. Thanks to all who reply, have a great ford day !

Easiest is a rubber gasket on the driver's side about halfway down.

Rubber Gasket

Thank you for the reply, I found it no problem and I must say what a perfect spot a nice 3'' hole for running plenty of wires. I just went ahead and drilled a hole into rubber gasket and ran the wires through to keep a good seal. Ill post a picture of where the gasket is if anybody needs any help finding it.

Yep, a great spot. I used that on my Dad's truck to run some wires for a salt spreader, reverse beeper and 2 strobe lights. Perfect.

Yep, def the best spot. I have my headlight LED wires running thru there to the switch in the cab. Plenty of room, glad Ford was thinking about us modders.

True true but I wonder why you didnt just wire your leds for headlights directly to your parking lights? Thats the way I did mine and it works great, no switch to remember to turn when turning on your headlights.
