This describes the idea behind using relays to supply power to the bulbs:

One other thing, You can use osram silverstar bulbs in Europe. They are not the same as the Silvania Silverstar we have here, they are better. They do not tint the lenses, so you get more light on the road.
You can buy pre-made relay kits on ebay and other places, but if you don't mind doing some soldering/splicing you can do it yourself a little bit cheaper and customize it for your vehicle.
Cool I will look into this. I'm American and bought my car in Texas. I am just stationed here in the Army. I am going to search for those bulbs though. Thaks a lot man.
