so you want it to flash when your alarm parking lights go on? or stay constant? you will need to isolate it by a relay not by a diode.

which way should i i have the cathode side. i'm putting the diode in line with the parking light output from the alarm but i want to make sure that when i cut the parking lights on from the light switch the neon doesn't cut on

the neon is fast to cut on the moment it gets power.
