how to make rear marker light blink with turn signals PICS inside

ok guy an gals i wanted my rear marker light to blink with my turn signals like i have my front bumper lights wired (link for that is stickied in the how tos)
so since there wasnt a write up for that mod i did it on my own. Here is the write up with pic and a three part video

first i wanted to make this light


Blink with this light


To start this project locate this connector it behind the carpet in the trunk


Cut the black wire with the pink dot on it pictured here


Then locate the turn signal bulb should have a green and black wire to it


Cut or tap the green wire


then tie the black wire with the pink dot going TO the marker light into the green wire


once you do that you are done i suggest using wire taps i didnt have any so i used solder+electrical tape here is the video it three parts
one with the lights on and turn signal on it will alternate between lights
one with lights off and turn signal on they will flash together
one with lights on and no turn signal the just stay lite

heres the video link

oh follow this guide for the other side there the same

Also i know the 95-96 turn signals will be flipped flopped so just look for the turn signal bulb an proceed

I did this on mine, but only because I have the red/clear outer lenses. Seems like you wouldn't want it flashing since its red any the turn signal is amber. Just my thoughts, but great write up.
