I suppose you would want them fed by the ignition so they automatically illuminate when you start the car though?
And only wanting the front lights to be lit?

Buy a drl relay and wire marker lights to it as long as headlamp has position lamp fitted.
My only other thought is if i was going to use the front marker lamp as a drl i would be wanting to up the light output a bit to be bright enough to use as a credible drl something like these could be a good option Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141026765683
I have them inthe front of my skoda and they are really bright.
I bought them because my skoda's front sidelight is quite big so lower output led didn't look bright enough so i reckon in the zed's marker lamp they'd look quite bright

That sounds like a plan, need to check my headlights first but I think I should be ok as mine is a face lift model. Thanks.

Jim its the face-lift model that doesn't have the sidelight holes you need to cut off the blanking plug
All the old Chrysler cars had was a plain black rubber grommet in the back of the headligh and a bulb holder which simply pushed into the grommet.

Ok clearly got the wrong end of the stick, so the markings are there but I will need to cut them out? Thanks for keeping me straight.
