Where do the wires for the light on the Auto trans shifter attach under the dash?

Where do the wires for the shifter light in an auto trans car attach under the dash?

I believe the brown ground wire goes to the multiple grounding terminal behind the instrument cluster and the positive goes to the light switch, but I don't know which post on the switch, probably Pa since it should come on with the first click to the right.

Alfred,
Thanks!  That would make sense as the wires are the same length and the headlight switch and ground point are close together.

Dear friend

There is a lighted port in the ashtray which is lit only when headlights are on. You may use that circuit to light your shifter console on the floor.

Best regards
