i wired my city lights up to a toggle. run a power line to your toggle and the another line from the toggle to the city light. then ground the toggle. and ground the city lights with one of the existing wires that came from the NA headlights. works great!

ahem.. run the two wires of the city light socket to your corner lights
(both wires, not grounding on the chassi the groudn wires of the city light,
I think you are creating a "additional" ground that actually is shorting out
the electrcal circuit.
