How'd you run your pillar pod wires?

I have the 3 guage pillar pod with speaker hole for my 01. Running Pyro, FP and trans temp. Looking for ideas on running wires. Looks like best bet is to drill a hole to get them behind the dash. Anybody have pics of how they did the wires?

I didn't drill any holes. I just ran the wires through the crevice on the left side of the dash. Everything fit fine. For the light, I ran a pos. wire to one of the fuses on the side of the dash. They turn on whenever I turn on the headlights and the gauge lights even dim too.

I don't have a 2nd Gen, but I ran mine the same way as wcbcruzer on my '06.

There's a boot with a big wiring harness in the firewall that I poked a hole through to get them in the cab. Then I just fished them up through behind the dash. It's actually a little easier if you make a snake wire (out of some insulated wire) to push down from the top.

another vote for running them outside the dash up between the door.

I removed the door rubber seal to make it easier to get them buggers up there on the trucks with the A-pillar- for Autos I made a hole in the plug for the cluch master cylinder.
