Question anyone fish a wire through the firewall?

I have an aftermarket item that would preferably be installed with a wire from the engine bay into the passenger area. I realize that's typically difficult and you need to be careful with sealing up anything you use, etc.

Just curious if anyone knows of an existing grommet or something to use, or am I just not going to find anything useful?

Long shot post, but thought I'd ask the community.

Thanks in advance.

We'll just call them "advanced parking sensors" (they're not illegal, just not wanting to draw searches here). They are mounted on the grille.

This is a pic of one side of my previous vehicle (GLE 350)...

HI,
I prefer to wire it to the side fender passing thru door passenger side(left hand drive ). Just make it invisible to make it looks good, and much easier to do.. Considering the size of the wire its not a big one . But that's me!!!!
Good luck. Let us know how did you go.
Cheers
