On the early 4K and Coupes, detach the ground wire from the side
marker light bulb connector (brown wires) and shrink wrap the wires (it will
no longer be used).  Then, run a new wire from each side marker connector 
to the respective side's turn signal lamp and splice to the positive
side of the turn signal bulb (black/white wire on one side, black/green
wire on the other).  Voila you're done.  Note that this mod causes the
side marker to blink "out of phase" with the turn signal lights.
