Retro DRL fitting query

hi guys got a set pf Fog/DRLs from (a Powerful co. in the \uk Wink ) and purchased a wiring kit. I can't find any info on where I can tap into the ignition cct - or accessory cct be it a fuse or relay. I also have one green wire coming from the controller which is not shown on the control box legend. Unit is eBay item number:323029023100
Any suggestions/help would be very much appreciated, thanks in advance dru337

I fitted similar and used a spade connector into one of the connectors in a spare relay socket in under bonnet fusebox. I think it was the relay socket for adaptive headlights which becomes live with ignition.

I can't help with the extra wire but I fitted some switchback drl/indicator bulbs and powered them from and empty slot in the fuse box using a piggy back fuse.

Just looked at the wiring listing and it says Green wire is for strobe which maybe a warning light for the dashboard to say they're on????





I'm surprised the light didn't come with their own wiring 2007 TD4 XS Manual in Sumatra Black

Reading your posted instructions, I can only imagine that the strobe wire is feed from the horn button to give 'emergency vehicle' strobe lighting when horn is pressed.
