not sure where the switch panel is on this car, but how do you turn on your headlights?  If it comes off the side of the steering wheel then looking for i would guess your parking light wire, in the ignition harness.  If all else fails if you are looking for a parking light wire, check the drivers kick panel for the harness that runs to the rear of the car, it's almost alway there.  Be sure to check with your meter.  If you want to hook up the defroster, pull out the defroster switch and meter the wires, see which wire changes when the switch is on.  Usually defrosters either trigger a relay or give power directly to the defroster.  If the wire changes from 12V to ground then you can probably hook up, your status wire from the alarm (sometimes called ground when running) right to that wire and it will work.  If the wire goes from ground to 12v then you'll need to wire up a relay to convert your negative status wire to 12V, check the relay guide on this site, it'll show you how to do that.
