We added a gear pump light while rewiring our new panel, so will take a look and see how that wiring was done.
Diagrams below from the Service Manual indicate running a wire from the pump to a light should be fairly straight forward.

Just as expected you can see the wire(blue arrow) from the pump rely heading up to the panel light on our airplane here as an example of wiring. Hope this helps.

Excellent. The photos are from our 1978 R182.
