You shouldn't need a wire to go through, it should be the pipe that you splice into the inlet manifold!!

The wires should be connected in the car to the lighting circuit!!

Any way there is a hole through the bulkhead behind the clocks for the speedo cable!!

I had this problem although mine is a mk5 cabbie... but shouldnt be much different. Take your dials out, and where the cable that fits on the back of your dials goes into the engine bay, slot it thru there and take it where ever you want to after that, ensure that the seal goes back on cutting a slight gap for the pipe to the gauge to get thru. Thats how i did mine and then put it all back together. My gauge is in the coins tray, like where the clock is on the cossies.

Look at the bulkhead just behind the clutch pedal, you should see a gromet there.

I believe that unused grommet is for the fuel computer's sensor wires.
