Just a tip: When it comes time to tap or solder (not CUT) the turn signal wire do the following. Go to an car audio place and ask them for a few T-taps. The T-tap is perfect for what your needing to do. It won't sever the wire but it will allow for a clean and quick connection between both wires.

i just did this mod and everything works correctly. front sidemarker signals like normal. while parking lights are on they'll turn on, then they'll blink alternate to the front and rear signals. only thing is, when the hazard lights are on, the rear sidemarker and liscence plate bulbs will flash also, but its a very dim flash, not a real one. looks like its getting sparked or something. also when you lock/unlock car with remote, rearsidemarker and liscence plate bulbs will flash with the signals. anyone else have this problem and how could i fix that?
