Default DRL and Turn Signal wire locations and colors

Hello OEM or GM wire schematic gurus, I need some assistance.
I'm looking for the wire location and colors for the following.

DRL wire: have new LED driving lights from Australia for the ARB bumper that have a DRL feature j would like to use instead of the headlights. So , I need to disable the DRL headlights and power the DRL feature in the new driving lights. What wire or wires do I need and where are they?

Turn Signal wire: have new LED signal lights from Australia that have a very bright corner light on them. I would like to wire them up to illuminate the left or right when I use my signal (like the Cadillac's do). I need to tap into the wire before the flasher circuit so I can have constant light when the turn indicator is used.

2010 H3 Alpha or H3T Alpha (should be exactly the same)

Colors and locations are the key points I need. I can wire pretty much anything but I need to know where to get the "signal" from.

Thanks in advance.

have you studied the detailed wiring info in the svc manual and not found it?
i can look there when i get time.

i have the 2009 stack of books that are a pain to leaf thru and just the 07 downloaded. its easier and i see stuff relating to what you want in the lighting pdf.you might look there

Sorry if this against the rules but this website has a lot of schematics on it for the H3 https://schwarttzy.com/h3-hummer/

Thanks, I have all the schematics for the H3/H3T wiring on file.
I need to know which wire to use and where it is to achieve my goals.
Not an electrical engineer and I don't want to adversely affect my BCM.

pretty hard to figure without knowing what the "new" stuff needs.

Don't quote me on this. I would have to look into it but, I think the BCM controls the DRL's by dropping the voltage to the high beams or running them in series. A DRL module doesn't exist. There is no wires for the DRL's, only headlight wires. When I get some time I will look into it. To disable the DRL's you need to reprogram the BCM and turn them off using the GM TECH 2 scan tool.
Anyone want to chime in to confirm?

Maybe that's why I blew my BCM when I tried to re-route into my parking lamps.
