@marty,Switching on with the ignition is switching on with the engine, it's essentially the same thing. As they are LED's, they do not present any significant load on the battery during engine cranking.
In the old-model i30, the B/UP fuse in the engine-bay fuse box would receive power when the ignition was in the ON position. This may still be the case for the newer i30. If you have access to the electrical schematic for the new i30 I could check for you.To make the DRLs legal in OZ, you will also need to turn off (or dim) the DRLs when the head lights are on.

Do the factory fit DRLs come on when the key is turned to the first - accessory - position or only when the engine is running?
Success! This will be my next mod!But in the meantime, Ive purchased LED fog lamp bulbs to get rid of that yellow light (not exactly sure how good these will be)
Maybe just wire straight onto ignition & call them parking lights?
Hi Guys,Whilst waiting for my DRL/Fog assemblys to arrive, I've been taking particular notice of cars with DRLs driving when dark.Knowing that Oz ADRs state that DRLs must turn off when headlights are on, it appears that a number of manufacturers are overlooking this ruling.Have seen: Audi, MercB & Holden all with DRLs & headlights on over the past few days.Maybe just wire straight onto ignition & call them parking lights?

The name says it all, it's to illuminate parked vehicles, not to be used like the large number of idiots do over here in W.A., as running/head/take-your-pick lights.
My aussie licence was issued in '92 and it was one of the questions in the theory exam I had to take.Oh well...
Welcome Alex .. Nice model you have chosen I would get the same in White if we got another i30..
