Talking 08 Accord ex led drl

Hello,

First time posting, long time reader of forum. I have a 2008 accord ex, trying to install drl led strip. Where would I tap into the under hood fuse box. Checked for ACC and found all fuses are active when car is off and key is out. What fuse or relay can I tap 12V ACC from that will turn on drl strip with the car started and off when the car is turned off and key is out.
Fuse # or fuse box pic would be a great help.

please help
thanks in advance to all who respond, I've learned a lot from this forum.

Driver's under-dash fuse box would have fuse slots that are hot in START or ON. Fuse slot no. 1 and no. 2 are unused.

1. The fuse slots that are hot in START or ON are located in the driver's side under-dash fuse box, as stated in my first post. Get a Littelfuse Add-A-Fuse MINI and use one of the unused slots in the interior fuse box. No. 1 and 2 slots are unused and readily accessible in the lower right-hand corner of the fuse box when you look up under the dash. You will have to run one wire for power ( +) into the interior doing it this way.

Just because you may want easier access in the under-hood fuse box, does not mean it is there.

2. If you want to run the power wire to the interior, there is a pre-drilled hole with rubber grommet at the firewall. You probably can make a cut in the grommet to run the wire through.
