Renault Laguna drl wires

Car: Renault Laguna
Variant: 1.5 diesel Dynamique (57)
Model Year: 2007

Categories: Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights

Hi, my kids brought me the above for Christmas. The lights are simple to fit but I need one bit of help - on each light there are is 1 black and red wire, the black wires go straight to the battery and the red wires need to go to a source that becomes live when the start/stop button is pressed - so the lights only come on when the car is running. My question - what/where can I put the red wires?
I have fairly good car knowledge but I am no expert!

Thanks in advance

Thanks again
