Looking for 3.x V Dwarfboard Voltage for Powering NozzleCam LED

Hi!
I am making a NozzleCam with an IMX 258 Imager, i need to add 1 or 2 LED lights.
Somebody may know where to steal some Power from the Dwarfboard? I couldnt find a proper Schematic, maybe someone leads me to the track or i have to meter it out? 3 Volts would do it.

Greetings, Sebastian.

You can access the connector for the cheese board. The dwarf circuit board already sends voltage there to control the two LEDs at the bottom.

Thanks. I figured out that the first and last pin of the cheeseboard connector is switched voltage for toolhead led´s. I am measuring 4,8 Volts.
I am going to try out and risk connecting two 1 Watt Led´s with resistor to bring it to 3,2 Volts. Power with resistors should be near 3 Watts, hope the voltage supply won´t mind...
