Brown/White is to the lamps in the speedo and tach.
Oddjob:
It's supposed to connect to a brown wire that is dedicated to just that bulb. It feeds off the ignition switch. It's possible it's hiding in plain sight but lost amongst all the rest. However as Bryan says you can connect it to the brown/white wires as those are the sidelights, it will then light up whenever the lights are switched on. It's meant to be illuminated for a parking light function. However that feature seems to have been made redundant in the late 70s so maybe Honda changed the circuit to get it to light whenever the lights were on instead.

As Ken says it does connect to a brown wire

Thanks for pointing out the correct wiring diagram; it will help in many ways!
I'll try what's been suggested.
