Just making sure ive got this right before I go cut some wires
(sorry for the shitty drawing)

Are the colors of the corner light wires these colors?

Basically as you've labeled them and have them shown in your example, yes, that is correct.

so the city light is white.
What color is the power wire for the corners?

Unless I'm missreading your question... I'm going to go with red. :dunno

like the real corner wire on the car. is it actually red?

No.

I was going off your diagram.:stickoutt

Have you actually looked at your wiring yet?

In my car there was 3 wires going to the corner lights. Green (12V+ for turn signals and hazards), gray w/ purple or yellow stripe (depending on which side of car you look at) for parking lights, and brown for ground. If you are wiring up city lights you should tap into the parking light wires, not the turn signal/hazard wires. The 4-pin connector running into the back of the headlight on my car has yellow (low beams), white (high beams), gray (city lights), and brown (ground). When I wired my angel eyes, I took the gray city light wire coming from the headlight and spliced it into the gray/purple or gray/yellow wires going into the corners so that they come on with the parking lights. Does any of that help? I know your colors may be different but maybe this will give you a better idea of what you're going for?

edit: Looking at your drawing I think you have it right, I just didn't understand the picture at first.

No.
