theres a rubber gromit in each side of the firewall, you simply drill a hole in it a slide your cable through and it shud be water tight, as for running the cables i've ran mine up the left side of the car and hidden them behind a few of the pannels.

make sure if you drill a hole its not to big it shud be a tight fit so its water proof.

I just poked a hole through with a stanly blade tip and pushed the wire through to widen it so i could make sure it was the right size
