URGENT! How to connect wires from exterior to interior fuse box?

H.E.L.P!!!!!!!
I want to install LED chassis lights for 2009 Nissan Skyline 370GT, but don't know where is the hole that wires can go through from exterior to interior fuse box(by the accelerator). Cheers!

I ran the wires through the rubber bulkhead on the passenger side, under the battery cover, then just ran the wires into the cabin, easy! Used shrink tubing on the wires to clean it up, nice and hidden under that battery cover too.

No, remove the cover over the battery and you'll see what you're dealing with.
You will have to remove the glove box to route the wires into the cabin, haven't seen this video but should give you an idea of what's involved, and while you're in there you might as well change your cabin air filter if it's been 20k miles.

Blnewt, did you seal around where the wires penetrated the grommet? I'd put a dab of silicone sealer for good measure.

Good point, never did, but I need to do some engine bay cleanup so I'll do that, thanks!

Cool! Thanks! So I can't route the wires to the cabin from the drivers side? Have to be from the passenger side?
Thank you so much for the helps!

My DRLs are routed along the passenger side, w/ a relay then going through that rubber bulkhead into the cabin, then routed behind the carpet above the footwells and behind that center console. If you shine a light on the drivers footwell you can see from the passenger side where you can run your wires back there.
I'm sure there's a couple places where you could go through the firewall on the drivers side, the path I took seemed the easiest though.
When running the wires through the bulkhead and behind that center cluster I tape the wires to a harder steel wire, makes threading it through tight places much easier.

No, best to check the FSM~it's a lot to go through though~
Not sure if the Skyline 370 would be the same, here's for the Sedan
