Question mk6 Escort Ignition Live feed

Hi All,
I am looking to fit a set of DRL's (Daytime Running Lights) to my mk6 Escort Cabriolet ... what I need advice on is:
Where can I take an Ignition Live Feed off, from inside the Engine Bay?
I don't really want to have to run the wires through the bulkhead if I can avoid it.
Any advice/suggestions will be very much appreciated,
CheeRS,
Aaron.

its so easy to run wires inside the bulkhead as theres a huge grommet behind the wheel arch liner right next to the fusebox and its the safest option too

Drivers side or passengers side?
Also do i have to remove the wheel arch liner to get to it?
My brain isn't working at the moment ... too much stress getting ready for Christmas with 2 kids who can't wait.

CheeRS,
Aaron.

theres is a grommet on both sides well on all my mk6s there was, I simply undid a few screws and pulled the liner to one side poking a hole in it and fed wires through as its almost behind side repeater
