please help...fog light installation

I've bought some aftermarket foglights for my 2000 1.8L Protege and while they came with instructions, it's not clear how I get the switch connected from the lights to the dash. Where and how do I get the switch cable through the firewall? Is this easy?

I've done the same, with my 1.8 1999. Unfort, I didn't do the install, because I got them added on just a little while after I bought the car, and the dealership had them added on at their accessory store.

They added a extra switch where the blank switches are (on the left of the steering column). They also added a relay that is near my fuse box in the engine, i'm not 100% on the setup, but the lights are wicked.

Why kinda fogs did you get?

I bought some OBX 900 series ultra whites. They were cheap, but they look alright. I have the wiring sorted out, and they came with a switch which I can attach right beneath the existing switch panel (I may hook the switch up through the proper place later). What I thought I'd be able to easily do is run the connection from the fuse box under the hood into the interior of the car. I was wrong. I can't see an easy way to get the wire from under the hood into the car.

I'm a bit reluctant to start drilling new holes. Any hints?
