Default dash light power wire in headlight switch

does anybody know which wire it is in the wiring harness of the headlight switch that sends power to the dash lights?

I need to hook up an air pressure gauge and its illuminated, i want to hook it up so it comes on with the rest of the dash lights.

Im trying to wire fog lights in my 2003 f150 (it does not have the factory harness) i did get the factory switch (and modified it to be pulled at the running light position) it looks like i have the wires at the switch, it goes down to a box on the driver's side kick panel, and doesn't look like it leaves. I have already ran a wire out through the engine bay wrapped up and run to the bumper, and landed a ground for both. Nothing is landed on either end because my first 2 attempts didn't work, so i capped everything off and kept researching, but I'm at a loss, I've done industrial and residential electrical work, but apparently I don't understand DC and I've had a close call trying to add a circuit to a truck once, if anyone could tell me how to get the switch to work like factory (except the relay that turns them off on the high beam setting) or at minimum give me a list of what each wire and pin position does. All the diagrams i pull are close, but not 100% accurate
