It is old, but the wiring on the Contour hasn't changed. This is the same schematic I used to wire my Audi A6 Sidemarkers. You are correct about the wiring for use of only blinkers, but the diagram above makes the more complex wiring of "on with blinkers/dim with parking lights" a whole lot simpler. You can use different resistance values to change how bright the sidemarkers are when the parking lights are on. The smaller the resistance, the brighter the sidemarkers will be. This does not affect how bright the sidemarkers will be when the turn signal is on.
