I actually read on how from EJ6Buddy:

your sidemarkers will have a positive and negative (aka green and black)
your front turn signals will have three wires b/c it's a dual filiment bulb (aka black, red, and green)

a) if you want them to light up only with your turn signals, then wire the sidemarker into the green and black with the positive and negative (respectively)

b) if you want them to light up all the time with your running lights, then wire the sidemarker into the red and black with the positive and negative (respectively)

c) if you want them to light up all the time and blink alternately with your turn signals, then wire the sidemarker into the red and green with the positive and negative (respectively)

lemme know if you have any more questions

Awesome! The whole reason I got the sidemarkers were for my own safety. I figured why have them if they don't stay lit the whole time and blink when you're turning.

Since I put mine in, I haven't had a car move into my lane at night.

Is it on the 24th? Mayyyyybe. I don't know if I'll be free or not. I have to make sure my car will be okay for the weekend after as I'll be racing at Road America again.

Is it a 2 day event or is it just Saturday? Oh... I who is running it, the SCCA?

I snapped some quick shots of the rear lip and tow hook. Yes, she's dirty and Yes, I had to notch the lip a little to get the tow hook mounted in a favorable spot.
Enough talking, pictures:
