Lighted Rocker Switch to Dimmer Knob

I installed some aftermarket LED lights and have them wired up to a lighted 5 pin rocker switch. In order for the words on the bottom to light up when the car is on, one pin needs to be tapped into a hot wire from something.
The closest thing is the dimmer switch, so I figured that would be easiest. I don't care about it being dimmable, just on when the car is on and off when the car is off.

Which color wire should I tap into? Or a better suggestion?

Anywire, that gets power once the lights are turned on is good. Could even add a add-fuse and just rub it to that.
 
Thanks, kolelt.

I decided to just wing it with the keys in. Took the dash apart and touched the write to each of the 3 dimmer wires - nothing, so I moved to the locker wires and choose the one with constant power and determined the green wire only had power when the switch is depressed.

Works how I want, on with keys in and off when keys out.
This is only so the words at the bottom of the switch light up.
The picture at the top lights up when lights are switched on.
