Is there such a thing as SWITCHBACKS for the Side Markers?

I did a search and found something close, but the video doesn't seem to be doing what I'm thinking of doing.

So anyone know of any switchbacks for the side marker lights? I would like for the light to remain on in white LED, but when you hit the turn signal, it blinks in amber.

Is this possible?

that is possible but the sidemarkers aren't wired to blink to begin with. they are just constant on. you can do this by tapping the harness for hte blinker i would assume, in which case you can put switch backs into that housing if you wire it up correctly.

I'm trying to find it. But some one on this site did just that. Tapped the sidemarkers into the turn signals then through switch backs in them. They didn't flash at the exact same time though if I remember right. No idea why.
