Not dum dum
Going to mount some gauges above the CD player, is there any way to run the wires in the dash with doing a dum dum an drilling holes in it?

Well.. yeah, course there is. Just take out the centre console and dash clocks for better access.

Lol, I know to take all the shit out, but is there a way to get from outside the dash (top) to inside the dash? Without drilling a hole straight through.
Can I go through the vents at the bottom? Or does that go off in a different direction?

Just stick them through the top vent then, might look pikey but not as pikey as a jubilee clip on the dash

Looks like I might have too :/ something I didn't want to do.
It's going to be three sets of wires, going too look well pikey.
May just have to drill it if there is no other way

Why not have a hole in the dash, under the pods, for the wires?
Thus once the pods on on, they will cover the hole?
PS...pics when done...I'm still toying with this idea, but ideally would like 3 pods, at an angle towards driver...not sure what you got!

Yep that's my plan, triple pod angled towards driver. Going to put inline switches on the +ve so I can manually turn the lights on and off, so when it's night I can turn them off if they annoy me.
And drilling a hole I really want to avoid. As when I take the pod off there will be a nasty hole and new buyers don't like holes in dashes

well apart from using magic, I dont quite see how you imagine to do it!
you will need to screw down the pods anyway!

Yeah I was hoping there was a way, maybe wires down the back of the dash or something.
Screws are for pussies. It's all about double sides number plate foam
