Default Int. wire ? on 76

My project came with the interior mostly apart. Does a 76 coupe have a dome light on the windshield?
Can't seem to find one in the wiring diag.
I have 1 grey wire that has power with ign/acc on but I think that goes to the glove box. Plus it seems a dome light would run thru the door switch. Any ideas? Suggestions?

The gray wires I see on my diagram are:
going to the radio,
most of the console/dash illumination bulbs as well as cigar lighter illumination,
comp switch for a/c,

yes, my 76 has light in the rear view mirror. I think I read somewhere that it depends if its an early or late model when they started changing some parts. mine is an early.

yes, mine has the lighted r/v mirror as well. It is a gray wire. Not showing on the diagram that I can see, but just looked at the car to confirm. It runs up behind the drivers w/s pillar trim.
