I highly don't recommend using splice connectors, your wires will corrode very quickly and eventually break. Solder, electrical sealant grease + shrink tubing my friend.

According to the EWD, doing this mod would make all of your park lights flash when you put your turn signal on.... unless you cut the sidemarker wire and connected the light end on the front turn signal.

K-ESD is correct about the blinkers flashing. Instead of cutting though, a diode could be used, as should always be done when connecting two power sources to one load device to prevent back flow of electricity. Solder though, should not be used for automotive wiring as it can trap moisture that eventually may corrode a connection from within, it may reduce the electrical conductivity of the stranded wires, and it will reduce the flexibility of a joint making it more prone to failure due to vibration. Uninsulated butt connectors can be used with shrink tube for a weather tight connection.
