Default Wheel Well LEDs

Planning on trying a Wheel Well LED setup i bought from a distributor in NJ. I did the preliminary wiring for the power setup, however i'm having some trouble finding a place to run wires into the cabin from the battery. and then out to the 4 wheel wells. Is it easier to find the fuse from the dash fuse box and splice from it or easier to use the direct battery connection?

I'm just trying to keep the wires hidden. any help will be appreciated.

2 places to run the wires through the firewall.

1. top right in the enginebay. (kinda mid way through) there's a plate held in by 2 screws, remove said screws, and push the plate out. (should end up with an opening a little above the pedals.

2. remove driver side tire. remove wheel well lining, and you'll see a huge opening though which the Car's electrical harness goes through. pass the wire along with that.
