Default Routing electrical cables through the bulkhead

I'm working on fitting after market front fogs and have been concentrating on the switch wiring this afternoon. I have the new switch in and working and the only thing left to do is route a live wire through the bulkhead, into the engine bay and connect it to the relay, then that side's all done. before I start to dismantle the dash, can anyone tell me at which point is it best to pass the cable through the bulkhead? I'd rather not have to drill it. Really, I'm looking for an existing cap or grommet that I can use. Any ideas where I should be looking?

Cheers guys.

Look from under the hood, you'll find what you're looking for there. It's also easier running the wire in that direction.

Take the lid off the ECU box, unstrap the computer and lift it out of the way. Look down along the wire bundle - it drops into the cabin near the pedals. Look down through the hole and you'll see your floormat. There's a grommet on the front of the ECU box you can remove to get the wires into the engine bay.
