ignition live fuse box @ main battery MY16

Hi,

Looks like this question has been raised many many times, but I cannot seem to find an answer that really concludes "what-to-do". So please don't shoot me (yet). Very Happy

I'm looking for a ignition live feed under the bonnet.
I'm planning on changing the existing DRL to aftermarket DRL (the LEDriving FOGs from OSRAM).
I don't have the japanese/air polution plug.

In the fuse box next to the main battery, there's an F19 which is empty. Apparently, one stated it was a ignition live on the D4 (http://disco3.co.uk/forum/topic102948.html?highlight=F19&start=30), but then a couple of messages later, it stated that was F9 instead.
On mine, F9 should be 'empty' according to the manual. It is not. According to the decal on the cover of the fuse box, one should look in the manual Whistle

Then, F19 is permanent live. Both on the cover and in the manual depicted as being empty. Which is actually the case Thumbs Up
But this is not what I need. Big Cry

I then tried readouts on some of the fuses that were in place.
Most of them were, surprisingly, permanent lives. (although not always 12,xxV)
But then I found F16 doing what I'm looking for. Ignition live.
Searching the forum for F16 turns out to, well, obviously (and I was expecting that) include threads about aircraft ... Rolling with laughter

F16 is used for the Blind Spot Monitor (BSM). I'll probably use a pig-tail connector on that fuse to have my ignition live for the DRLs.

Could anyone confirm or propose a better solution?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Cheerz

Well, should someone be interested or bothered ...
I can confirm on the D4 Graphite that the F16 in the fuse box next to the battery does seem to do the job in providing ignition live.
This topic may be closed if you ask me (and if that's common practice).
