Default Anyone use the rear washer tube route for wiring?

The only bushing I see through the firewall now holds the tubing for the rear window washer, and it looks perfectly placed to use as a wire entry into the driver/passenger area.
Anyone use this spot? Or, can someone point out where they ran wires into the compartment?
I'm having a heck of a time even finding a spot, and this looks obvious, almost too much so.
I'm hooking up some LED off road lights on the A pillars on my kid's 12 Rubi, and I looked today and saw the washer tube on my 12 Sahara Unlimited, she's got a hard top too so I figure she has the same setup.

I cut the bushing to route my spod cables. No problems.

there are holes on both sides of the firewall that you can get to by pulling the dash side panels by the doors off. just need to poke a hole in the foam fill in the hole.

Thank you, it's just one of those "it looks too good (easy) to be true" moments.

I used it also... The only drawback is that the wires come through SO high behind the dash its hard to reach them...

This ^^^^^. True on my 2007 and on my friend's 2012. So pretty much 100% true on all of them.


BOTH SIDES!
