Where can I find this write-up for the Turn Signal Rewire?...

this is all I found from another website.

Turn signal rewire. Not the typical Maxima rewire (i.e. alternating turn signal and sidemarker). Instead the sidemarker and turn signal blink as one, and the sidemarker does not come on with parking lights. (After all the cornering lamp is doing sidemarker duty.) This helps reduce bulb fading and makes the two lenses blink as one, which they should.. they look like part of the same lens. Plus now you can see the front turn signal from the side of the car.

Anyone know a link, did not find it in the faqs.

That is right! Don't forget to cut the original power to the sidemarkers, don't mess with the black wires (ground) and put an orange 194 bulb. I did it this weekend. It took me 10 minutes for both sides. I also put an orange light in the cornering lamp. In all, it is different and the contrast is much better.
Cheers!

I'd personally just tap the normal blinker and cut the wire going to the sidemarker light.. then run the tapped wire right to the hacked sidemarker harness. I don't have any idea on how to make them alternate though, I think I'd rather have them blink at the same time anyways.

So I should cut the multi-colored wire(leave the black wire alone) and just tap it into the fronts multi-colored wire?...
