Running Wire From Inside, to Battery?

I want to set up a switch to control my streetglow, the switch is going to be mounted next to the steering wheel, on the right side where the folding mirrors switch is. The only problem im having is finding a way to run the wire from the battery to the switch? where is there a duct that runs from the engine compartment to the cabin? Pictures are always helpful thanks.

look under your glove compartment. and if u look to the left a little you'll see a tube like running into the wall. you first have to take the carpet off from the wall and see what you are doing. that hole right there will bring you to the engine comparment where when you pop the hood open and look down from there when standing next to the battery. and you'll see a heat shield like metal plate. behind it is the hole. becareful u might scrap up your hands doing it. easy job just start runnig the wire from inside to outside the car...its alot easier
