Front Camera
Hi,
Has anyone connected power for front camera to the DRL since they only come on when car is running. Currently I have them connected to my fog lights which also requires headlights as well and having to remember to turn on and off.
Any help or other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

DRL is just a mode of operation for your front turn signals.
When it's dark they are off, so this is probably not a good solution for powering your camera.
Using your fog lights is a pretty good idea, they will illuminate the curb/obstruction so your cam can clearly "see" it.
