I can't remember your specifics, so there are two possibilities:

MT:  The power comes from the hot terminal on the coil.  There is a 
short wire off that terminal that leads to an in-line fuseholder and 
then to the switch on the MT.  The return from the switch comes back 
to the engine area, splits and goes to each side to the lights.

AT:  The power comes from the main fuse box, down to the switch built 
into the shift lever assembly, back to the engine area, splits to 
both sides.
