Power source from battery at front

I am trying to add fog lights purchased from blinglights to my 2014 LS. The fog lights kit came with all the wiring. From what i understand, there is a red wire which is supposed to be connected to the battery's +ve terminal and a stray black wire which i believe is supposed to be grounded. Both wires are very short in length. Since camaro's have the battery in the trunk, just wondering if there is any power source at the front that i could use for my situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Note: The wiring that came with fog lights kit contains a fuse and a relay. They also come with a switch to turn on and off.

Plenty of places... just look under the hood theres a red plastic cover for jumping the car. Ground I shouldn't have to explain

there are also other places to get power near the fuse box

Is the jump start positive terminal hot all the time or only when the car is turned on? I want the fog lights to be on only when the car is turned on.

Use the post on the bottom of the fuse box. Super easy to tie in there. And use that as the hot, and tie in the "non hot" cable on your existing fogs so you can control it from the switch. Or another set of lights in the car if you don't have any fogs, so you can control them.
