Dashboard switches lighting was created by murphy963

For my JIMNY JB74 i have the following issue:
I am trying to figure out how to connect the dual switches to make them light when the dash lights are on. They are five wire dual switches. I do not need them to dim with the dash lights but only to have their back lights on when the side lamps are on.
Where can I find a 12v supply that can be tapped to have the switched backlight on when the side/ headlights are switched on?
I know that Suzuki lighting system is always HOT i.e that you have a 12v supply always on and then when the lights are switched the ground goes to zero. I managed to make all the connections and the switches are functioning correctly, but I could not figure out how to make the switches backlight ON when you switch the dash lights. Any suggestions? -- Thanks
