wire it through the engine bay fuse box.
so live wire from the battery, relay in between and then switch via the fise box (ignition) |

You would be better of wiring them in to the double relay under the engine ecu.
If you used a relay you could have it so when the headlamps are switched on the DRL's are then switched off. |

Appologies if this has been answered somewhere already, if it has please direct me to the answer...
I need to connect to a wire (Day time lights) which is made live when the Ignition is switched on...
i have searched the loom on the far right of the engine compartment with no luck.. every wire i Tested was not a live one
not that i have tried all of them, there are far to many to put little holes in ![Smile Smile](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif)
(yes i could link in to the light loom, but this would mean switching the lights on, which i dont want to do)
if you have a pic to help me out i would be grateful
thanks in advance |
