I have a 96 chevy S10. I need to know how to get through the firewall
to hook up hood glow and my fog lights?? We have looked everywhere for
a place to go through. Maybe we have overlooked something?

Here is a picture where I got through the firewall in my 2001.  Not sure if
it's the same for 1996, but hope it helps.  This is under the glove box
area.  The rubber plug is for the radio antenna wire and it's very easy to
work with.

I appreciate the feedback but unfortunately I didn?t understand much
of it except the  picture that was sent. I am unfortunately not
mechanically inclined so if you could break it down for me that would
be great! :D

 On my 97 GMC which should be the same as yours. I ran my wires just to the
right of the engine. Just make sure that you are clear on the inside. Up
under the dash!!!!Above your brake and gas pedal. The hole I drilled I
couldn't put a gromet in it becasue the firewall is double thickness there
so I used a piece of rubber hose and ran my wires through it. You can seal
it in so don't move. I think a piece of 3/8 hose is fine. then if you put
wire sheeving over your wires just side it up to the firewall and its all
covered.

Under the carpet in my truck (not sure about yours) is a rubber plug with a
black wire going through it.  This is located on the passenger side about
where the passenger would put their feet when sitting in the seat.  The wire
is the radio antenna wire.  You could probably slide a few more wires in
through the hole or make new ones in the rubber plug for any additional
wires you need to run through the firewall.
