Where do you tap in to backlight fog switch?

[TNRunner99]

I have a ARB Compressor and a OEM Toyota Fog Light Switch that runs my PIAA ATP Fogs on my 99 4Runner. The switches work perfectly but I haven't figured out how to wire them up to backlight the switches like the rest of the dash. I want them to light up when the headlights are switched on like the rest of the dash does.

Any ideas as to where to wire these up? I've looked under the dash but can't really find any solution.

No one has any solutions?

Are there 3 or 4 tabs on the back of the switch? If there are 4, you should be able to tap the green/white & black/white wires used for dash switch backlighting, and is controlled by the light switch & dimmer.

However, 3 tabs and you'll have to just run either a ground or 12v to the 3rd tab, depending on how you have the others connected.

Thanks for the reply. I had pretty much given up on this thread.
The switch has 4 tabs.
Which wire should I tap the 4th into? green/white for the switch?

Which wire did you tap into?

I didn't, I ran them off the battery & the PIAA switch on the dash.

Bump for any ideas and pics if possible.

realistically you should be able to tap into any line that also activates when the lights are on. like the other switches' feeds, the lights under the cup holder, etc.
