Default Custom drl power source


I recently installed the profile pixel DRL boards and to get power for the Bluetooth I piggybacked from the washer fuse, therefore when the ignition is on they are always on. My question is if anybody knows how I could hook up to the DRL switch so they only turn on when they're supposed to?? If there's already info on this I'm sorry I just signed up today this is the first time I've posted 🤷 thx in advance

By DRL switch, do you mean the stalk switch on the steering column that has the DRL Off option? If you have that model switch.

I think many reading this may not understand the question exactly, so hard to give an answer.

Yes, behind the bumper where the stock DRL Harness plugs in (That you dont use anymore) Is where you tap it. Should retain the stalk functionailty, Thats where I had mine tapped on my IS when I did the exact same kit as you.

Yeah I kind of figured I could do that but I was trying to avoid removing my bumper again, by accessing the power source through the engine bay. But I'll be removing the bumper next month anyways to do my grill & emblem and I'll Tinker with it then thank you very much for the info.
