[HELP] Adding Signal DRL - Xenon Wiring Harness

I have a factory xenon setup. MY DRL came with three wires, yellow for turn +, black for ground, red for +.

Now the wires are very short, and I basically need them to work with powering on the car, and turn signals active with the turn signal.

I've attached a picture of my wiring harness. Is this possible? What color wires would I splice into? What fuse would splice into instead or relay?

I bought a kit on Amazon and so far have the turn signals running perfect, I think the issue is I need to hook into the ACC of the car, I want them to be ON when car is turned on, or hook into the default DRL - I have stock Fog/DRL setup right now. How can I hook into the ACC for the foglights within the engine bay? OR do I just run a wire to the positive terminal on those?

I recently installed some lights, and tapped into the little parking lights for power. Not sure how long your wires are. My "DRL" turns on when I unlock the car and the headlights are in the auto position.

Just took a whole lot of video and did a bunch of them to make a how-to for people. Setup side markers, scuttles, and headlight DRL / Amber signals LED right into the headlight harness and bottom DRL positive channels with proper splicing.
