Pulling a wire into the Engine Bay fuse panel for T-tap install

[manolan478]

Has anyone pulled a t-tap fuse cable into the engine fuse panel? I am adding some grill lights and the vendor suggest using the t-taps. But, the fuse panel is pretty sealed up. Has anyone driller a hole or installed a rubber membrane like the one going to the inside fuse panel?

I just don't want water or debris getting into the engine block and short out the block or become an issue down the road.

I was hope there was a way to pull the cable up into the fuse block from below...

Any suggestions?

You can just t tap into the parking light wire above the wheel well. I did this for my Diode Dynamic backlighting so it come right on when bronco is started. Diode Dynamic had a video on how and where to t tap for the elite bronco fog lights.

I appreciate the video and response. but. I was actually looking for something different. There are fuse taps that allow two fuses to use a single slot. Two light additions were suggesting I use a specific Fuse tap to utilize one of the accessory fuses. But, I could not figure how they wanted me to run the actual wire with the fuse tap into the engine bay fuse box without putting a hole in the plastic cover of the fuse box. Not ideal.

I like the T-Taps and have used them many times in an RV. But, I was really trying to penetrate the engine bay fuse box and wondered what other folks did.

Should I remove the screws in the fuse bay and lift the assembly out and pull my cable up through? I have never done that and don't want to damage my fuse box.
