so connect them to the wires coming off of your turn signal bulb.

Not true, the running light is a 194 bulb and the turn signal is a bigger 3157 bulb. I just bought a set of projectors (Gen 3) and would like to do the same thing with the LEDs while changing the colors from blue to amber. Did the OP ever figure this out?

Running lights are always on. The turn signals light up with the headlights and then engage the second element during signaling. Because there are two elements in that bulb, I don't believe the wiring would work for what we want to do. (given that an LED only has one element) But if you use the blue wire going to your turn marker to wire your LEDs, they'll at least blink with the turn signal, but won't be always on after that.
