just wire them up with the tail lights that blink?
That would probably be easiest.

Look up the EK sidemarker mod, Wire them up like the JDM,
treat the rear lights as if you were adding a sidemarker.

diodes, you needs them.
but then you're into it with a relay or two as well.
in short, yes, it can be done, but it's going to be a PITA because you need to have the power separated for the parking and turn circuits, otherwise your turn circuits will back feed the parking lamp circuit and probably do weird stuff.
this is very similar to how it would have to be done:

read that and then figure if it's worth the hassle for you.

Then your saying the EK sidemarkers need to be done with diodes too. It was fine for me on the saturn. and should be fine on the accord. LED's are already a diode and wont do dual purpose, which is why its better to use regular bulbs on the sidemarkers. The parking circuit is fine if you ground the part you cut.

Thanks for all the help but the way I wired it was one wire connecting to break lamp and the other connecting to the turn signal...

Thats how I've always done it.

so has anyone done this with success yet? or... I want to do this but I mean what is stopping me from just splitting the power from the turn signal tail light and have it feed the tail light turn signal and the side marker light.
The marker lights will still come on with the lights but when you hit the turn signal it will make them flash.

Yeah I've done it... I guess that would be the only way to do it if you would want it to signal...
