Double check your own car it may be different!
The best place to break into this wire is down at the loom as shown below...

If you want to mount an optional switch on the inside of your car you have to get wires through the bulkhead. The best place (if a little tricky) is shown below...

Push the thin plastic cover out the way and you will see the loom. Feed your wires through the same rubber grommet.

If you have auto leveling headlights then you will have a blank space which is ideal for the switch..
