That is the proper way to wire them up...I would double check the wires you hooked up and make sure nothing is wrong there. They should blink along with the stock turn signals.

The sidemarkers are not supposed to stay on all the time. They are intended to blink only when making turns while remaining off at all other times.

You wired them to the parking light lead on the big bulbs, most likely.

You have one wire hooked up to ground and one to the parking light filament in the big bulb. It needs to connect to the turn signal filament on the big bulb.

Stick a multimeter lead on each terminal in the bib bulb's socket, with the other lead on ground, and see which one gets +12V when the signals flash.

i hooked up the red and black wires so it must be the 3rd wire
