What year Westy?

IIRC, the wire doesn't go down the pillar. It should continue on a
"straight" path to the dome light area. Image of mine. Looking up at
where dome light mounts:

FWIW, on my '81, I re-purposed the supply wire from dash fuse box to
fridge etc so it was a load wire from aux. battery. Moved end of wire
at fuse box to the interior light-cig outlet-radio  circuit. I believe
something similar can be done for later model years but method and
wiring is different.

And if for any reason you wanted to do things another way, on my '81
there's a connector to the kitchen light about 1' rearward from driver
side pillar (by driver shoulder) up above the spice rack behind the ~
3" tall panelling bit. Your light is over the stove? Still. That
connector may be there.
