Installing Raptor, need 12v switched source.

I'm in the process of installing a Raptor shift light. I have my Shaker 500 head unit pulled. Hoping someone can tell me the color of wire that is switched 12v. I need to get this buttoned up in the next hour or two.

THanks.

I spliced into my Shaker 500 harness. White wire going into pin # 2 on the big plug.

Is that the switched 12v that stays on for a few minutes after the engine is off, or until the door opens? Or does it go off instantly with the engine?

I just completely uninstalled all of my audio/etc so the dealer could fix an electrical problem (that I probably caused). Previously I was tapping into the clutch sensor, but I that's not really a great solution.. I'd like a better switched 12v that doesn't come from anything important. So when I put everything back in this weekend, I want to do it right.
