anybody use a relay? how long are these bulbs lasting?
nope no relay needed. 194 bulbs dont use up much power so their isnt a need to go overboard on the install. i still have the same bulbs in since the 1st day that i posted this write-up

That does look horrible. What bulbs are you using? You do realize that blue lights are illegal, right?

is there a way that I could wire them so I could turn them on individually instead of with the turn signals?

im not sure how cars a wired in your area. but in the US we have 3 wire corner light sockets.red- power blk ground green- flash. if yours is wired like this or if you can buy a socket like this, tap the power from your citylights into your corner lights

There's a better way than gluing the socket. You can find and buy city light sockets for cheap. Then cut the hole on back of the headlight. Before cutting, look closely and you'll see the design of the socket. After cutting it, trim until the socket fits and you can turn the socket and lock it. Don't glue it. I've done this before.
I'm gonna buy another set of headlights and do this! I'll post it up when I have the time.
