I just received my 2009 Alphard in Canada and I need to install Drls to pass Inspection.

Does anybody know where I can pick up ignition switched power from the engine compartment?

All the fuses in the fuse boxes are constant power.

wiper motor, you can buy a harness to get power from wiper motor without damage wires.

I lost a bookmark from a Japanese site, they had a small controller that monitored the charge rate of the battery, to detect when the alternator was on, and would switch on the DRLs, it would then switch them back off again 30 seconds after the charge voltage disappeared when the ignition was switched off.

I think it's possible to find similar devices on AliExpress or eBay.

Thanks. I couldn't find the harness adapter for the wiper motor. I ended up running the wire inside the cabin and tapping a fuse on the passenger side.

Thought about the drl module that monitors battery voltage but decided against it. Most only turn off below 12.5v and mixed reviews every where.

So I running the wire inside and tapping an ignition fuse was the most reliable option.
