Best place to run a wire through firewall from engine?
I'm about to install a front camera (will activate by hitting steering wheel button with custom programmed VIM) , and front camera will by mounted in the lower grille.
I need to find a way to run that wire from the lower front grille, to inside the car to connect to the Midcity VIM which is behind the in dash 6 disc changer.
Any advice here? Would prefer not to drill any new holes.
Here is wire that needs to come in:

Ok, well, that was easy. After I popped the box off, I could see light shining in from inside the car. Was able to get the wire into the engine bay fuse box in 2 min!
Now the issue is getting the wire out of the engine bay fuse box... At the front of the box there is a blank square rubber grommet that pulls out! Guess just poke a hole in it and that's it?
