Rewiring Tails - Help Request

To all the electrical gurus or anyone else with a clue on rewiring.
I'd like my rear blinker to blink with both the bottom (blinker) and top-outer (brake) lights.

Possible? Let me know, please, on what's going to be involved.

thats going to look pretty tight, thinkin about doin it now

dude comon connect the blinker power wire to the brake power wire and throw a diode in between it, make sure that the black line on the diode is closest to the blinker side, another diode will need to be thrown in on the brake power wire as well, with the black line away from the ligt bulb, if any of the first diode is not wired correctly your second light wont blink, simple, if the second one mentioned is wired up wrong the brake light will not work, just reverse the diode if this is the case for either or send me a message. The reason for the second diode is so it doesnt backfeed into the system and make all your brake lights blink...

also

I would also recommend getting redding out your turn signals, make it look a little better as well, I did it and it takes an easy three hours for a professional look

So this will allow me to keep my top-outer light as a brake light but let it also flash as a blinker as well?

Am I splicing the power wire from the blinker to the top-outer? Then using 2 diodes?

This seems more involved...

why dont you just try this out? maxz93 has it right i believe. Its not that hard. Just not to have power cut out when the blinker turns on. Hence the diode. The second diode on the blinker power wire is just so it doesnt turn them into blinkers when you brake. It shouldnt be that hard. Try it out and if it doesnt work then put it back the way it was.
