If you wire the side markers to the turn signal wires, they will flash at the same time. The only time they alternate is when they are wired up "ricer style", since they are constantly illuminated when the parking lamps are switched on, and then switch off when the turn signal flashes.

"Blinkers only" is the correct way to wire them, and if wired this way, they will blink at the same time that the turn signals do. What I referred to as "ricer style" is when the side markers are wired to both the turn signal and parking light leads. This results in side markers that illuminate when the parking lights are on and switch off whenever the turn signal flashes.

All you need to do is tap into the turn signal wire and a ground wire, and your side markers will function properly.

I don't know the actual color of the wire, but (at the risk of stating the obvious) it's the one connected to the turn signal.
