Do you mean inside the cabin or inside the bonnet, on the bonnet its on the drivers side inner wing down the channel, follow the line cable from the bonnet release  :wink:
from the cabin its behind the pull lever, just follow it

I used the grommet at the back of the glove box. It goes into the pollen filter housing and then into the bay. Mines been in for about 8k+ now and no problems.
