If you are dead-set on wiring in DRLs, then there is a jump-start post under the hood that connects directly to the battery. I'm sure you can find +12V somewhere around that post.
For switched 12V, you can probably find an open fuse slot in the fuse box under the hood.
I'm still confused why you don't take it to the dealer and have them activate this feature on the car..... It already exists in the car's software and is a simple thing. I'm sure most would do it for free since it is a safety function.
If you are trying to achieve some sort of aesthetic then more power to you.

deilenberger, that's exactly what i was looking for. i'n not obsessed or do i really want to run the hardwire needlessly....hahah
i know the location you are talking about (battery jump point), but i didn't see were to "tap" in on that area.
do you have a pic or a diagram of how i can connect the + and - in that area.
thanks

scott c, yes, for aesthetic as well as safety. dealer wants to charge $$$$$ to turn it on, but i still have to install the h/w itself so might as well do it all myself.....

thanks all......any other info. is always welcome.....
