what exactly are you trying to do? are you trying to put in a completely independant switch? are you looking for location to put the switch or you trying to find out what wiring? and if it's regarding the wiring, is it just power and ground? we need more info. i didn't put angel eyes in my vibe, but i did install aftermarket fogs instead of the OEM ones. first, i wired them into the factory wiring, i just cut off the connectors and then spliced the power and ground to the a/m ones. then, i eventually installed a complete independant fog switch so i could turn them on or off when i wanted. before i traded the vibe in, i rewired the fogs back to the factory wiring.

As far as getting the wire into the car there should be a nock out ( rubber plug) in the firewall. Jusr punch the wire though the rubber plug.

That's the way to do it... I'd personally also suggest finding a means to make sure the wire doesn't rub on the firewall where it runs through there. Perhaps find a grommet that would fit in the hole... Is there any existing hole there that would already have a grommet that could help prevent any damage to the wire?If it's even possible, one could also find an existing harness that goes through the firewall and run it through that way. I don't know, I haven't looked at it that close... All my electrical mods remain inside the passenger compartment.
