Default wiring pillar gauges and routing the lines to pillar questions

i have my stock pillar off and i cant seem to figure out how to get my pressure line for my n2o to go from under the dash up to where the pillar is, any hint or tips to make this easier.

and what wires to i tap into to make them light up with the gauges and dim with them because there are quite a few wires coming out of the headlight switch and im not sure which is the right one.

i searched and really coudnt find any answers, so any help would be great.

thanks

Sell it and get an electric one. That's the easiest route. Why'd you go mechanical? (I know I'm not much help here, just curious).

Yea, they really skeeze you with the mechanical stuff if you're trying to route it into the cabin. Good luck with that.
