Default DIC illumination control wire

I have an aftermarket radio and I'm looking for the wire that gets power when the headlights are turned on, thus turning on the lights for the DIC. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks, Clint

IIRC I think it's the brown wire on the climate control box but let me get back to you
