sidemarker wiring

Alright, dont flame. Ive searched these forums many times and found the same answer, but still doesnt work for me.

I want to wire this up to turn on with parking lights, and blink with turn signal. Yes ive connected the red wire of the parking lights to the green wire on my sidemarker, and the black wire to the ground of the parking light.

They constantly stay on. I used a test light and the green only signals. The red only stays on constant.

Is it the bulb im using? its a slyvania 194na (amber bulb). Do I need a double filament bulb? sorry if i get flamed. I'm expecting it.

i think you're gonna need a dual filament bulb if you dont want to use any relays...do they make dual filaments the same size as 194's?
