this will work but bit of work. I donno you wanna do this or not but it will look cool. you can connect it to your side markers as well so it is always on with your daylight and turns off and on(blinks) when you signal.

First-of-all I donno if you know about the relays but a relay is electrical switch with coils. so when there's current through, switch turns on or off(switches position) you can read it more in
It can be purchased from any local auto shops, alarm install shops or even in electrical shops. You need to buy SPDT relay which has 5 out puts (30,85,86,87,and 87a)

So any how, to make your turnlights light on always and shut off and on, when you turn the sideturning lights on, you will need to wire it as stated below


It's bit of work to do but will look original!

as a side note, u would need a SPDT relay for this... make sure to look for the 5 pin one. usually they just sell the 4 pin relays.
