All you would need to do is add a bulb wired off of the running lights and inserted into the outer lens.
I did this on my Formula when I had the 85-90 T/A lights on the car.
This is how the formula was when wired up with the T/A lights.
parking lights,

Left turn signal

I didn't like it that much so I drilled a small hole into the outer lens area and used a small socket and wired up to the running light wires that werent used with the T/A lights.
When I put these lights on, I just removed the extra bulb wiring I added,

if u wanted the effect of all lights lighting up when braking or all lights on each side for its respective turn signal, u can buy a wiring converter from various places that are meant for trailers, that convert the newer seperate turn signals into older brake/turn/tail all-in-one style
