Default daystar lower dash panel wiring kit

Hey guys I just bought a pair of Hella 500 black Magics for my windshield. In addition I bought a Daystar lower dash panel with a rocker switch. I have already figured out how to run the wires through the firewall. My question now is how do i get these wires behind the center column. I have been searching the forum but no one mentions how they got the wires behind where the lower dash panel is. Thanks for the help.

I ran my wires from the Daystar switch panel through the firewall on the passenger's side. I removed the panel on the right side of the dash to gain access to the hole. I then had to punch through some foam insulation filling the hole with a stiff wire in order to feed the electrical wires through.

I ran mine into the Drivers side along the bottom of the dash then into the center.

Sorry. I read steering column, not center column. That's why I mentioned going through the passenger's side. I believe I fed my wires over the glove box and down along side the center column to the panel.

it should be pretty easy to do I ran a wire from the 12V outlet wires to the glove box to run a couple of 12V outlets in the glove box and that wasn't to hard just come in from behind (giggity) the HVAC controls then down.
