ACC 12v under bonnet
Hello guys, anyone can tell me please where can I find under the bonnet in some accesible places (if there's any) a reliable ACC (accesories) 12v source that I can use in order to be able to install a pair of LED DRLs? Thank you.

what on earth would you want them on in the "radio" position?
It is bad enough with them being on without the engine running |

Help would've been better appreciated, but still, it's my choice to have them on with acc, but I wouldn't mind if I'd have to connect them to ignition 12v, anyone knowd a good sourcr for this?

I seem to remember reading somewhere that one of the fuses in the under bonnet fuse box is only live when the engine is running, but can't find where I read it

Is yours the diesel, or petrol?
If it is a diesel, then you could tap off the underbonnet fuel pump feed? Or, check in the underbonnet fuse box, sure that some of the blade fuses only become live on ignition on Fuse 3 perhaps?

If not there are lots of places to get a live feed. From the battery positive cable in the under bonnet fuse box is one.--An in-line fuse would be very easy to fit and also an on-off switch in the cabin of the car. |

I have a petrol 2.0 V6. And yes, I need a source that provides 12v only when the ignition is on
