best place to pick up the ready signal in the engine bay ?

hello.

i am about to install some Hella DRL's on the prius.
i have done a bunch of research, and even searched this forum with not much luck....

can someone please tell me the best place to pick up the "ready" signal in the engine bay ?
i need an IG on feed for the DRL's. i don't want them on in ACC mode. only in Ready mode.
there are some threads that have pictures of where to get the ACC wire, but none that i could see for the ready wire...

one option i have considered is a timer relay that can turn on once the 12v battery goes higher than 13.2v, and off once it goes lower than that. there is one such item on ebay.
problem i have with that approach is that it has a parasitic drain of 1.5ma in standby...

1.5ma isn't much, but it all adds up, and i would prefer to have zero parasitic drain if possible.

i haven't installed them yet.
i hope to get them installed this coming weekend. that will depend on my auto electrician though.
he works after hours away from his workplace to earn a little extra cash.

i won't be replacing the round fog lights. those will remain and will continue to operate as usual.
the Hella DRL kit that i bought is the LED DAY LINE 5.

as seen in this listing.

once they are installed, i will post pics / video.

thanks for the alternative suggestion !

will be having these installed in the next week or two, so i will get to see whats located in the best spot for the wiring harness for the DRL's.

they need 3 wires hooked up. one GND, one Ready (positive) and the third goes to the low beam positive.
that way when the car is in READY mode, they will come on full brightness, and then if the headlights are turned on, the DRL's dim and become position lights.
