Hello,
Im wondering if anyone has any idea of a way to make what im thinking work.. I have an LED strip that I want to come on with my parking lights, but also come on with my DRL's (which are the same bulbs as the parking lights, but the brighter filament of the bulb, as the parking lights are on the dimmer filament, so 2 seperate input signals). The DRL signal also controls the turn signals. Basically what I want to do is for the LED's to be on all the time, when the DRL's or parking lights are on, but to also blink in sequence with the turn signals.. I know I could utlize the 87a pin in a way to make them blink opposite but thats not what im trying to do. Any ideas?

In phase with the flashers is tricky - you need to disconnect them when the turn signals are activated. That's easy of your indicator switch is before the flasher can.
Otherwise out of phase should be possible by grounding them thru the respective +12v-flashing supply to the bulbs - assuming they are not LEDs themselves (and do not have parallel bulbs or resistors).
