Default screws for a-pillar gauges question

Ok just wondering. My triple gauge pod pillar didnt come with any screws so I have to put some screws in myself.... Just wondering how long of screws should I use? and are there any precautions I should take when drilling into the pillar? like are there any wires in the pillar or structural damage i can do by drilling into it?

Well, I'm putting a triple gauge pod in my car right now and I'm attaching the gauge pod to the stock A-pillar piece with three small screws with screw caps to hid the screw.

Well, if you drill into the pillar (behind the trim). Be careful not the cut into the drain hose. There is a hose in there for the antenna and moon/sun roof.
