Default 12 volt switchable source for DRL?

Hello all,

I am attempting to wire a set of LED daytime running lights and was hoping to go through the fuse box. No luck so far trying to find a 12 volts that turns on when the key is turned. This is my first attempting anything like this. I have tried to tie int!o the fuse on both the radio fuses and the fog light fuse. The problem is that there is 12 volts even when the key is not turned so when I wired the lights off these fuses it would light the leds all the time. Is there another fuse box? Thanks for any help!

I was going to suggest the radio fuse but surprised to hear that didn't work. Have you tried the cig lighter fuse?
