M2 Wires Through Firewall

I have read some posts, where people have gone through a grommet for the clutch mechanism if they have a DCT which I have. As the fuse box is on the passenger side (LH drive north america car) I prefer to go through there. Has anyone done this? Is there a grommet behind the fuse box I can use? Thanks in advance for any help.

There is a grommet behind the fuse panel but it goes directly into the fuse box which is a sealed unit. There is another grommet a few inches towards the passenger side and a bit higher than the fuse box pass through. Pretty easy to find.

I had to run a wire for my Hobbs switch. Unfortunately I didn't take pictures but it should be pretty obvious once you take a look.

Where did it come out? Did you have to remove the glove box?

I had to pull the kick plate and the panel below the glove box. Panel below the glove box has a connector for the light that needs to be pulled when removing
