Gear indicator fiberoptic cable with Dakota digital dash

[Stsnipes]

I have a 1972 C10 with a non-tilt steering column. I also have a Dakota digital dash. I did not opt for the extra transmission sending unit for the digital dash that shows what gear I'm in on the dash itself, so I still rely on the "old" selector on the column. Normally, with the original dash, the gear selector is backlit with a fiberoptic cable which runs down the column and plugs into the back of the dash.

This fiberoptic cable is still present in my column wiring, but is not plugged into anything. Is there anyway to plug this into the digital dash, or wire it separately to another dash light to get backlighting for my gear selector? Thanks in advance!
