Start under the bonnet. Look for a rubber grommit on the passenger side at the back.

Found that no problem, its getting the wire to the hole thats the problem the dash is ####in packed with heaters n vents etc etc

push the wire through and just keep checking the passenger footwell, it'll come out eventually, you may have to pull back the carpet.

Nooooooo what i mean is, when i drill a hole in the dash for the wires to go down through i have got to get the wire from the top of the dash, through all the heaters etc down to this gromit hole, and i havent got a clue how to i cant get my hands in there at all :S

Oh! lols. I just cable tied mine along the dash near the front to some existing wiring. Don't go behind it go around it.

if you do use this route for the wires then remember to take any rings off your fingers before putting your hands behind the dash, I didn't on a Saab 2 years ago and set fire to the wiring when my wedding ring shorted something out.

Easiest way I found for routing wires behind there was to get a mate to shine a torch from one side while feeding through the wire.
