You can alway jump wires to figure it out. I think the black is usually the 12V wire. The pink is likely the ground. The switch is likely wired for fogs, even if they are not installed. Then you have a wire going to the ignition.

I'm looking at a diagram and it looks like the following:
GRN/RED = Headlights System
WHT = Interior Lights (Rheostat)
RED/BLK = Hot At All Times (fuse c8)
BLU/YEL = Hot W/ Overlaod Relay (fuse c26)
YEL = May be to the rear fogs.
WHT/BLK = Rheostat
PINK = Ground

I'm not real good at reading wire diagrams but this is what I can tell.

Sorry, should have stated what i was trying to accomplish in my post as well. I'm trying to figure out the best/correct way to get power for my boost gauge (back light). I think going from the headlight control is the best way, just trying to figure out the correct use of each wire coming from it.

Thanks!

I usually tap into one of my switch lights.
