running wires

[tundralover]

Hello all whats the best way to run a wire from the engine bay to under the dash on a 98 Camry LE im trying to install running lights but cant figure out how

I'm not too too familiar with the 97-01 body. But on my '96, I ran the wires though the drivers side wheel wheel and then through the firewall, right along where the car wires on that side go.

I have a '97 and went through the drivers side wheel well. Easy to see from the engine bay and on the other side it is where the trunk release goes through the firewall (big rubber fitting). I fit a 3-gauge wire through it, so you can get a lot through it...

NO drilling btw

best way is to use a multimeter. It can tell you voltage among other things.

Sounds like you just need to find a constant on fuse and tie into it. That's assuming you have a switch on your lights. The other option is an accessory fuse that is powered only when the car is on.
