Blinking Side Markers: Not the same question that I've seen

I've seen several threads that address creating blinking side markers. However, they all seem to address the issue with LED modifications that are out of sync with the factory relay and create a non-factory color effect (per youtube demos).

Does anyone know of any reference material for either adding the side markers to the existing relay, or replacing the existing relay, if needed, to accommodate all of these markers?

I want a factory look in both color and cadence.

Do a search either google or forum. Someone was talking about that issue in the last day or so. I read about how someone solved it. Probably not a huge help as I have no link, but I remember reading it. If I come across it I'll link it here.

It's already been done and asked, actually.

Iunno about you but the OEM sidemarkers look pretty identical to the front-turn signals as is.

That's my point. I want the to look factory, and not like an aftermarket mod.

These are sidemarkers made by USR! They look original and they display white light, when just on, but they will blink Amber (front)/Red (rear)!! There is a thread about them as well!! I have ordered them for myself as well.

OP, if I understand you correctly, you want your sidemarkers to look exactly like they do stock(in other words, NO different LED modifications), but want them to blink with the turn signals.
It is possible (that's how mine are), but I'm not sure how. I know there are some relays and diodes involved, but mine were built for me a while ago by a member who isn't around anymore. Search some of the old sidemarker threads from 4-5 years ago, before adding the LED's became popular.
