    Looks Good! Do your DTRL still blink normal when you use your turn signals.

    You've probably got a short in the circuit. Don't increase fuse size, as you might burn something up.

    If I had to guess, you most likely either tapped into the wrong wire from the blinker or tapped into the wrong wire on the side marker.

    I think I might have it figured out. You said you tapped into the wire on the side marker for the blinker mod. That's incorrect - you need to totally cut the original wire (tape the cut end and stuff it into the wire loom) on the side marker and connect it to the tapped wire from the DTRL turn signal. Now you would be sending the blinker signal to the corner lights instead of trying to share that signal with the original wire.
