Question adding additional turn signals?

Does anyone have any tips for me on this? I would like to add 2 additional 12v turn signals to my JK. Can I simply tie into the existing turn signals (hardwire them in), or do I need some sort of relay switch that will trigger them? If I need a relay switch assembly, can anyone recommend a kit or a source?

I know this is kind of low-tech, but I don't know much about auto electical systems.

on the front fender. I just need to know if you can just tie in to the existing signals. I know from past experience, that if a signal bulb fuses, the other bulbs flash faster. So, If I add a bulb, will they all flash slower?

i tried to do this mod. i wired up the light, but it wouldn't stay on all the time with the parking lights. it would blink with the turn signal, but didn't illuminate otherwise.
is this how it works for everyone who did this, or did i do something wrong?
when i saw that it didn't illuminate all the time, with the parking lights, i wired it back the original way.
