iv put mine through the bulk head just left of the ecu into a gromit....and your wiring for your ilumination,id put into your light stalk next to your steering wheel...best to put a relay in so nothing gets hot or for a quick option put a inline fuse in so if it does get a bit hot it will pop the fuse and nothing else......

You can get through under the heater fan, there are two big holes under there, and as said t into the loom from the stalk for the sidelights.
