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.

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.
