The pot had a hole in the bottom that allows water to drain out of it. This is going to be a perfect hole for the wires to pass through.

Stab the neck of the lamp into the soil and out through the hole at the bottom.

Then, take a drill and make a hole in the bottom of the plant saucer. If it's ceramic, you can still drill through it, just go slowly, don't push too hard, and put some water on the drill bit as it works its way through. Mine happened to be made of galvanized steel, so it was easy to drill through.
