Default Schematic Needed

Anyone have a schematic of the headlight switch to PCM circuits?? I notice that when you turn the switch to activate the headlights the alternator exciter wire that comes from the PCM excites the alternator more to put out more power for headlight operation.

I want to tap this circuit with my bottle warmer so that when I turn on the bottle warmer the alternator will get more excited so i can have the extra amperage needed for the warmer.

Thanks for the help.
