I didn't even think the side markers worked, but i look in the engine bay and they had wires going to them. I don't know maybe i've just never looked at them at night.

Yes, the side marker lights do blink with the regular turnsignal.

Sometimes they blink at the same time and sometimes they don't. As long as the front ones work, I don't care if they bling insnycronization.

I believe that the sides and front markers/signals blink simultaneously when the headlights are off; back and forth when the headlights are on.

Yes, like Paulo stated above, it depends on wether the lights are on or off. They alternate if the lights are on, and blink simultaneously if the lights are off.

On mine I have re-wired them so they are blinkers only and not on with the lights. Thus they always blink simultaneously...
I didn't do that 'cause I like it, but because it is one of a bunch of stupid laws over here where you cannot have amber front markers and red rear markers (the taillight corner bulbs) so I had to change it. Naturally Im going to put them back to original again now that it has passed inspections.....
