ACC Live location? Please assist

[nizzex]

Hi guys

I need help. I want to fit some DRLs and can't find a acc live / ignition on. I want it to live only when key ignition is on. I can wire my DRL to come on with headlights but I do not want that. Where in the engine bay can I wire in? The fuse box in the bonnet isn't much help. I tested a few fuses and all are live?

Nothing found for Volkswagen Fuse ... at-b6.html

You are correct in not connecting them to the headlights as at night drls are supposed to be off hence the name daytime running lights
As for the ign live if you cannot find one under the bonnet can you not get one from inside the car put and inline fuse on it and run it out into the engine bay to where you need it

If no fused connection under bonnet is possible when I would have to wire from fuse box on drivers side.

If I have to wire from inside where would be best and which fuse number?

If it's any help, there is an ignition power supply in the loom below the OS headlamp. It's a Black/Blue wire that supplies power to the washer pump. Only on saloon models though with no rear screen washer.

Thanks for everyone's input. I've managed to complete install of my custom DRL. I'll create a new post about it
