I've obviously wired in my footwell lights to the parking light feed that comes out of the fuse box, and that's all fine. If I just tap my DRL's into that, it shouldn't be too much for it should it? They're low power LED's. I could use a relay that inverts the polarisation to use a switched ground, like mentioned on the previous page of this thread, and seeing it's just the DRL's that would be coming on along with the courtesy light, it shouldn't be too much for it to handle?

I'm not on about what I wanted before, as before I wanted ALLof the parking lights to come on with the courtesy light. I just mean the DRL's by themselves this time. Then I could wire them into the parking lights like normal as well.

Sound feasible? Using the feed by the fuse box?

Hi Geraintthomas. Did you make any additional progress on this? I'm looking to do something similar with my courtesy lights, except rather than power on parking lights, I want to power on LED footwell lights and have them fade with the courtesy. Would be interested in knowing where you tapped the courtesy lights? Mine is a 987, and I have something labeled as an orientation light. Not sure how that may play into it. But anyway, was curious if you were able to tap from somewhere under the dash, or if you ended up going up the pillar.
