Electrical tape doesn't work well in high temperature environments, eg, under the hood of a car. The adhesive will melt and migrate. Makes a sticky mess.

If you do go with electrical tape, get a high quality brand such as 3M's Super 33+.

I ran my wires through the driver side firewall
There is a spare grommet that can be used
That’s my wire harness that’s circled in red

That really only works on automatics. For manuals there is a whole lot going on in there, which leaves almost no space to work with.

That grommet location can be very hard to access if you're driving a manual since the clutch master cylinder and associated hardware will be in the way. If you're driving an automatic, I would agree that you might want to choose that grommet as the access point as opposed to the grommet under the battery.
