Which wire dims interior lights

I am trying to find a wire in my 2008 F250 6.4L that tells the interior dash lights to come on when the headlights cut on. I am wiring a uniden scanner and it requires a "dimmer" wire so that it will dim the screen when the rest of the interior lights cut on. Thank you so much for your help!!

Find a blue/red wire under the dash. Any place that has a dash light will have this wire feeding it. Find one you can get to, and splice into it.
