Nice work Ian. I think I might have gone down this road had I had wing lights.

If you are just looking to take a low current feed then perhaps connection I/D G44 (from the chassis harness diagram) on the wiper motor connector. It goes back to the 10A wiper fuse and on with the ignition.

Thanks Roger. just ordered a 12v tester so I am going to hunt around the under bonnet fuse box and certainly the wipers must be a candidate. However any source I use must be Ignition on/permanent live and not switch dependant. eg like the 12v socket in the glove box.

I have also ordered an automatic voltage sensor relay that is wired into the dimmed headlight live and reduces volts to DRL by 50% when ever dimmed headlights on. When on main beam DRL remain on.

Keep you posted.
Ian
