There prolly isn't a blue/white wire there behind the switch, but that
isn't the color you want. What you want is the gray wire. It goes from
there to the back of fuses 1 and 2 so you can pick it up in either place.

There is a blue/gray wire on the switch but it comes from the rheostat
and thus depends on the brightness setting for the instrument lights.

I am going by the Bentley colors only.
