I was going to at one time. In fact I've got an O.E.M. accessory kit here at the house to do so.
As soon as I can find the installation instructions for it again I'm going to offer it up for sale since I can't install it with my H.I.D.'s.

I did this back in High School on my '85. All I did was find a hot wire when the truck was running, and fed that to the lights only.

Are you looking to put the sensor on your dash so it knows when to come on or just have it turn on when you turn the key?

I am actually in the first place looking for ideas on aesthetics? so how and where would you put LED DRL's on a Square?

A lot of cars a using them and I wondered if any of you guys are?

Technology will come later...

I have some old driving/fog lights mounted vertically behind the grille on my 76 they turn on with the key and I have a separate switch for the fog lights they work really good for being mounted behind that grille they are almost as bright as the regular headlights

Sorry for the delay. No pictures, since it was so long ago.
