My tach wire on my 03 was right here and very accesible in the upper passenger footwell. I also had a extra key on only power/ground pigtail under there also grab power (sure beats trying to tap in somewhere else). shift light took about 15 minutes to install with the only hassle trying to tap into the white wire as there isnt much slack in it.
I pushed the tach wires to the other side right through the console on top of the carpet using a small wooden dowel which took a whole 10 seconds.

ahh, you went in the footwell- I was actually looking at the other picture and thinking it was yours. The other pic only showed one pink wire- but there are probably others in there.

I just fixed mine...I had some bad connectors.
Wire twisted the wires together solved everything.
I used the Pink wire, which is the 12V switched, the Orange is 12V constant.
I used the large steel metal left of the steering column, you can see the black screw in the opening.
White wire was easy to find as well.
