How do you pass wires from the headlights to the taillights?

So whatīs the easiest way or the best way to pass wires from headlamps to taillamps? without breaking anything please.
I tried to pass through the tube but it is full.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? I suspect there may be a better way than running a line from one end of the car to another...

to legalize my car in Spain I have to change rear turn signal from red to amber and add a rear fog light,
so the modification Iīm planing is take wires from head fog lights to rear fog light (will come on/off using the same button),
and wires from front turn signal to rear turn signal (I will use one of the rear lamps of each side only for turn signal and the other for parking/brake)

Might be easier to bring the tail light somewhere and have a custom orange lens made. Also if you run all that wire and extra lights, they are going to be dimmer if you run them in series. You could probably tap into the fuse box instead of all the way at the headlight too.

Could you please explain rear fog light a little better too?

Do this tap in to the switch in the car, and run wires back to a relay in the trunk for your new fog lights, there is a fuse box in the trunk under the carpet.

As for tail lights go to your GM dealer in Spain and order the tail lights that are for the EU.

See if Pedro is still around. He did it.

Also you could follow your main battery cable. It goes through the center console under the backseat and under the spare tire area.

thanks to everyone, I will explain better,

for the fog lights I have to take a wire conected on the head fog lights to the rear fog light (this way head and rear fog lights will get on/off together),
for the turn signals is a bit more dificult, the problem is that the same wire on tail lamps act as turn signal and brake light, what I need is and amber turn signal (will use external tail lamps) and red parking and brake light (will use internal tail lamps),
for the turn signals I think deactivate all wire andn conecting with the head turn signals (using yellow high intensity leds maybe I dont need to change the lens color, we do this on mustangs I dont know if it works on the camaro),
for the parking and brake light I will cut the brake light, if not doing this it will remaing with turning lights, and then conect this wire with the 3rd brake light.

I think this way will solve my problems but if anyone knows a better way Iīm listening, you say that I can conect on the fuse box in the trunk, perfect I will search for this fuse box conection diagram.

Hi in the car there is a wire in the fog light switch, if you tap that wire and run it back to the trunk and run a relay there to turn it on with the relay so it comes on at the same time, I will post some pics later after work, the power is from the fuse box in the rear.

The brake and turn signal i dont know what to tail you.

That always confused me. So, it's mandatory to blind the driver behind you? o.O

No, they are just another set of red rear lamps.

So, it's more of a running lamp than a fog lamp. I always associate fog lamp with either a clear or yellow light, not a red light. I guess the rear-facing "fog" lamp is so that even idiots who drive without their headlights on in inclement weather can still be seen from the rear?

is the most powerful lamp on the rear side of the car and is supposed to use only when restricted visibility with a lot of fog or rain....
you canīt use in normal condition of visibility.
