Hole in the firewall

I decided to mount an LED bar of lights behind my grill. The light bar has a long cord attached to a plug for a 12V socket.

My problem is I cant figure out how to run it back to the socket in front of the gear stick. I can bypass the firewall by running the cord pass the fender, into the passenger foot well and into the socket. But the problem with that is that the door pinches the cord when closed (not a good idea).

Where can I EASILY run the cord through the firewall? I dont want to cut the cord and reconnect it either, so the hole cant be tiny.
