Default wiring sidemarkers

How do i go about wiring my sidemarkers if i want them to turn on when i just turn on my parking lights? (one click on the head light switch). But at the same time i dont want them blinking when my turn signal is blinking.

I think you need to tap into the red just for the parking lights.

Your under dash fuse box has a set of "free pins", one of them is the park light circuit, there is also a constant 12V+ and a 2nd ign. free pin.
They are there for adding power circuits to your car so use them, an in-line fuse should be installed close to the free pin. 94

The way I do them is to shoot the wire thru the sub fram arm up to the turn signal, Tag it to the red/black. Do it for both sides. The red/blk does not blink. There should be a dual element bulb. One the parking light the other is the blinker. Its easier or yo can do it fcm way. That will work too.
