The appropriate Live is the feed for each headlight or indicator or sidelight element that he wants to pick up, so indicators need chipping in to the appropriate loom on each side.
If you want the DRLs to come on with the ignition then you need an ignition live. I believe that there is an IG live that runs to the heater motor but best to have a look on a wiring diagram.

This Bit:

I mounted my DRL controller on the left hand wing.

I routed the 12v trigger wire to the blower immediately adjacent.

there is a Orange / red wire from memory that is a ignition live wire.

I just tapped into that.

The DRL is pulling milliamps, and the blower wiring has plenty of headroom for the additional pull from the DRL controller.

All above is fused at source, so really very little risk.

Food for thought.

Cheers
Andy

If he runs the ignition live for the DRLs through a normally closed relay and then triggers it open with the sidelight feed then the DRLs will switch off with sidelights.
