Default 12 volt question

Hey guys. Ok...promise not to yell at me...although it will probably be hard for most of you to hold back..but here it goes. I have (drum roll please) a set of headlight strobes that i wanna put in my 2000 1.8T. Where is there (A) a 12v source in the engine compartment and how do i access it, (b) where is there a hole in the fire wall to run wires through, annnnnndddd (c) how do i get behind the dash to get the wires to the switch next to the fog lights? Sorry its soo much, but ive been trying to do this 4 a while and im getting reallllllllllly frustrated. Anyyyy help is awesome. THanks EVan

Im not sure where the best source would be. When i ran wires through the dash I went through the back of the ecu box down through(use a coat hanger to "fish" the wires through) and then used a dremel to put that switch in the spot by the fog lights. good luck, its not a fun job at all.

12 volt power source under the hood... Battery

I go though the rubber grommet on the front of the ECU box youll have to remove the knee bolster. Then pull out one of the false buttons next to the seat warmer and light controls and run the wire down while you fish for it wit your other hand.
