Default Lighted Shift Knob

so i was thinking of getting one of those lighted shift knobs, not one of the plastic crap looking ones, but the mental ones with the engraved shift pattern, the pattern lights up. so i want to wire it to the headlight switch, so when i turn on the headlight, and all the interior lights come on, the light in the shift knob comes on too. does any one know where to tap the wire from?
thanks
