Ignition live!
Hi again all,
I've just bought some Day Running Lights (DRL's) from Halfords today. They only need a ignition live feed & earth (inline fuse as required) but, for the life of me can I find a Ignition live feed. I hate electrics so i'm trying to keep things simple. Is there anything under the front Hood/Bonnet? Other than connecting them directly to the parking/side lights, i'm at a loss.
All assistance gratefully appreciated.

Thanks Meir. I don't suppose you know the colour of the wire that I should tap into by chance?
