Default Day Running Lights

I'm looking to fit day running lights.

Rather than remove all the trim around/under the streering wheel to gain acces to a live
ignition feed...Where is the best other place to get a live feed from

Fuse box under bonnet close to firewall on US drivers side. Not sure where it is on your cars. There is a stud terminal that is live upon the ignotion getting turned on near the very back close to the firewall.
I'll post up a previous thread later.

One more question...How do I wire them up, so that they switch off when I use head, dip, fog lights, or side parking lights

Why do you want them to switch off I would imagine it will take some fancy wiring to get them to turn off when heads or fogs are turned on

If you REALLY want them off when normal lights are on, then run the switched ignition wire through the normally closed contacts of a SPDT relay, drive the relay coil from the hot lead to one of the eyebrow lights.
