Light kit wire routing

Hi all. For those of you that have the Alta or Out Motoring lower grill light kits, how did you route the wires? I'm having a difficult time finding space to get the wires past the airbox/fusebox/ecu harness. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

well I have no idea how you would do it without atleast taking the stock airbox out. Because its solid and the ALTA is open enough to run wires...

Cool. Thanks! I got the airbox top and intake tube off and have enough room to get the wires under. I've found a good place to mount the controller and only need to drill a couple small holes in the plastic baffle behind that airbox to get the + lead to the fuse box bolt. Should be done tomorrow.

Ok, 1 more question. Where's a good ground...preferably in the middle or right section of the firewall? Do the bolts holding the PS fluid tank go to the firewall?

no idea on the firewall... I used the one on the bonnet and the one infront of the ECU for ground. Anyone else?

just ground it on the hood ground on the outer part of the front strut tower, unless you wanna use a zip screw into some sheetmetal somewhere.
