What wire off the headlight switch controls instrument illumination??

I drive around with the parking lights and fog lights on all the time. It's kinda a habit because I think it looks mean as hell. Problem is i'm getting annoyed running my interior lights during the day. Makes it tough to see the radio sometimes.

Is there a wire that runs off the headlight switch that i can cut and put a toggle on? This way i can run the parking lights during the day but keep the interior lights off? I also have a set of Indiglo white face gauges so i don't want them really on during the daylight. I'd put the toggle maybe inside the center console or somewhere hidden but easily accessable.

I1 DB/WH on the square connector of the switch. Test it before you close it all up .

Cool thanks, now to find a small OEM looking switch and a good location for it.
