I can just splice in like the diagram shows that someone has, right? thanks. 1998.5 silver frost svt resonator removed, Alpine 7875 h.u. (sweet), 4 Blaupunkt 4 way 6x8's clear sidemarkers,

I am working on my car this weekend so I could do the wiring also, if I had some instructions. '98 SE Sport Fog light mod and sidemarkers No significant power mod

Do I need any resistors or diodes to hook up between the sidemarker and lights? '98 SE Sport Fog light mod and sidemarkers No significant power mod

If you didn't, that would explain the "turbo blinker" that you are experiencing. If you do a search on this topic you'll find the schematic and it's quite easy to follow. If not, let me know I might have it saved somewhere on my comp and could email it to you if I can find it.
