well, I think I understand what you want. just a quick question? you aren't
going to have backup lights? or are you going to do fog lights as your
backup lights? just a question.

I would say talk to these guys. www.amperite.com they make tons of
electrical stuff and have helped me out a ton! I can't imagine them not
being about to help you...good luck! they should help you on the
flasher/relay for you.

then you will need to separate the turn signal wire from the brake/parking
light wire. you'll need a FSM for this or help from someone who has one.
My guess would be it's somewhere in the steering column, in the fusepanal,
or under the dash (near your feet). Like I said, an FSM will be your best
bet!

I though about something like this but turn the backup light into a turn
signal. But I didn't feel like getting down and dirty with all that wire.

let me know how things go. I'd love to see the result.

MAybe I'm not making myself clear again. I DON'T WANT
THEM TO STROBE!! I want to change the reverse light
into another blinker! Not a strobe, not a flasher like
cops have. When I turn my blinker(turn signals) on, I
want it to blink at a normal rate like stock blinkers.
Basically, I am going to put a red bulb in place of
the white bulb in the reverse light location and use
it as another flashing blinker light. I am wanting to
hard wire it into the original tail light bulbs and
make them blink at alternate times. I was just
wondering if anyone knew how to wire them so I can do
this.

Later,
