Do these look they they need to be changed or are they still good? If so where can I get new ones?

testing them is the most accurate way to determine if they have failed or are still working well:

Think of this: every single time that contact inside the relay makes or breaks connection, there's a tiny spark. Every time there's a spark, there's a tiny bit of wear and a tiny carbon deposit left behind.
The condition of the terminals shows clearly those are very very old. personally, I would not even think about not replacing those, it's main relay, O2 sensor heater and fuel pump. Id say do it.

I would agree with Luke...the terminals look like they have gotten hot, most likely due to corrosion in the relay socket contacts. I would replace them. I've pulled a number of relays out of junkyard BMWs and I haven't seen heat damage to the terminals like that...of course I'm in California where things don't corrode much!
