How to wire sidemarkers?

I wanna know how you wire it? I want it to light up like parking lights and blink but i think its kinda hard cuz you'll need a double filament bulb which is hard to find on a little sidemarker bulb. And what should i use to cut the metal so i can put them in? I dont want to F*** anything up. Should i have a professional do it? If so how much should it cost?

1SicVic is an unknown quantity at this point
The DIY sidemarker install tells you how to wire it. Both ways, for only turn signal and parking light/turn signal...Like Cambo said...do the search...

I'm gonna write a DIY for this.
Sidemarkers turn on with the parking lights and blink out of sequence with the turn signal. The one drawback is that the sidemarkers won't blink if you don't have the parking lights on.
Keep your eyes peeled for the DIY.

I did this with my EL Tape sidemarkers, but it will work with any single element sidemarker.

Well the main thing is cutting the metal fender, yeah i saw the DIY but it didnt look like a perfect cut and it seem kinda difficult. So should i pay someone to cut it?
