Under bonnet ignition live

[mantianak]

Anybody know where one is? Read about feeding from fuse 4 but that's no good on the petrol cars, it stays on for something like 10 minutes after the ignition is off.

What else can I use without feeding from the ignition itself?

Why do that Eric?
There's plenty of unswitched live points in the glove compartment fuse box!

I found no luck getting a switched live in the engine bay - I resorted to running a cable back from the ignition live for the stereo, through the bulkhead to the bumper.

DRL led's, should have mentioned that. I couldn't find a point so ran one from the head unit. Just have to finish it off tomorrow.
