(DIY) Switchback turn signal with factory side markers

Hello I know allot of people done this before I search allot too but didnt find anyone that done this and was able to make the side markers blink at the same time with the turn signal when the parking light are on. From 1 to 10 this is a 4 on dificulty.

This wiring is specific for 07/08 tl s
same steps for 04 to 06 but may have different wire color

Parts
2 relays
2 diodes
18 guage wire

1-First remove the cover of the steering wheel
2-locate this connector behind on the wiper controls unit

I have a diriculous question. Why would someone want to do this to a 2007/8? You already have the turn signal mirrors.
A 2004/5/6, yes, definitely.
