Hood switch

I have a 2004 F-350. I am trying to locate the hood light switch (that controls the light that illuminates the engine compartment when the hood is raised). I would have thought that would be an easly thing to locate, but I have been unable to find it. Do any of you guys know where it is?

The switch for the hood light is a "tilt" switch in the light's housing. A small ball-bearing rolls down and makes the connection when you open the hood and tilt the switch.
