Default Wiring auto-dim mirror into a Mk1

Hi folks, can anyone advise on the best place to take +12V for an auto-dimming interior mirror (ex-Mondeo)?
Obviously this needs to be tied in with sidelights coming on. (earth is easily available from the interior lights)
I found some instructions on the defunct focusowners.com forum but that suggested pin 16 on the headlight switch, which mine doesn't have (very early Mk1 Zetec).
I've had the switch out today and tried a multimeter on it, but can't identify any pin that consistently comes on +12V only with the lights.
The pin numbering is quite strange, it has a 15 and a 58 for example, and I can't find any reference for that - I've even looked on an old Ford ETIS CD that I have!
Any advice appreciated.
