^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There is probably a relay that responds to your turn signal switch,
diverting power from the running light, through a flasher unit to the other
filament. Maybe you could use this relay to insert the flasher unit in the
circuit leading to your new mirror lights.

If it's not done with a relay, you should still be able to use the existing
turn signal switch to send power through a flasher unit.

One possible problem: turn signals are generally a heavier, brighter
filament than running lights (or what I call parking lights.) The flasher
may not work properly with the lighter load.

Mabee do like GM did.Side markers flashed opposite signals. 1157
signals and 194 markers. Markers wired to ground through the signals.
Blinked out when signals came on.

power to mirror light, ground side of mirror light connected to live
side of signal lamp. Signal lamp grounded as normal. When power is on
the mirror lamps and the signals are off, power flows through the
mirror lights (lighting them) and through the signal fillaments (front
and back in parallel in this case) to ground. The signals do not glow
due to low current. When the signal is energised, the mirror light has
power on both sides, so no current flows and the bulb blinks off. The
signa;s DO glow.
