Power through the firewall?

I'm not sure this is the right place to post this, but what the heck. So, I need a place to run a wire from the engine bay to the cockpit. it would be equvilent to the size of 2 0/2gage wires. Thanks for any help.

See page 7 of the OEM driving light instructions.
It shows you the grommet you need to go through, as well as one possible path for the wiring.

Depending on where you are going with the wire you could always go from the battery in the boot, forward.
