You mentioned in your video that on the driver's side, the wires were crossed. and the boomerang was in that series somewhere... I wonder if you sent the ground wire from the side marker to the live wire of the signal bulb, would that work? As when the signal is off, it would be a complete circuit, but when the signal flashed the system would have no ground and the side marker would turn off...
I'm not an electrician either, so I'm just using my high school electronics knowledge for this... I have no idea if that would work lmao

Before I noticed the wires were crossed on the drivers side sidemarker I ended up wiring the turn signal hot wire to the boomerang ground, which caused the boomerangs not only to flash alternately with the turn signals but it overloaded the circuit and made the sidemarker very dim.
Honestly since my tail lights have the DOT sidelights and my car is lit like a christmas tree when the lights are on I wasn't too worried about losing my sidemarkers - I gained more safety from having them as turn signals than fog lights lol. If you figure out how to have the best of both worlds let me know.
