Help with flashing sidemarkers

Hi everyone,
I need help wiring my sidemarkers to flash with the turn signal. My original post can be found here.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do you guys think it will really make a difference if they flash or not? will other drivers really notice this? Besides, I think if you are going to make a light on the side of your car flash, its more noticable towards the middle of your car, like Euro blinkers.
I usually do not notice when peoples federal amber side markers blink or not.
Thanks for your comments.

I weighed my options on this sidemarkers issue. The Euro-style blinkers would have been too costly for me - cutting, buying additional sidemarkers, time spent on car instead of g/f, etc. The cost would have been too much compared to the mod I'm trying to do.

If other drivers don't notice them flashing, them I'm no worse off from where I started - non-flashing sidemarkers. But during the day if I don't have my lights on and I'm pulling off the curb and someone can't see my rear corner lights flashing, then I would feel better knowing that I tried to make my intentions of entering traffic better known. And if only one driver does notice, then my mod would have been worth it.

Anyways, to each his own. I'm pretty new to all this electrical stuff so I have nothing to lose from this learning experience. It only cost me around $2.00 CAD for wiretaps from RadioShack and a little of my time.
