Side Marker Turn Signal Mod

My '94 Camry LE is pretty much stock. I've been making minor mods here and there. I'd like to add these side marker lights I bought on Ebay. They were made for a Mitsubishi Mirage or Lancer. They don't have a bulb housing so I need to track one down. I wonder if I could just take any bulb and attach wires to them. How do I wire them so that when my turn signal is on it blinks too? I haven't begun to try to put them on yet. I'm figuring I can remove the fenderwell trim and get to the area behind where the light will be installed. What type of bulb would I need to use (same volts as turn signal light, LED?)? Will there be enough power for the normal turn signal plus this too? Thanks for any help.

You need a 194 or 168 bulb.

Splice them into the turn signals.

Would it work if I used an LED? I don't know how the power running through the wire works. Will the LED get too much? Is there enough power to run the regular turn signal bulb plus a 194/168?
I was thinking of getting this:

Too bad there's no real pic of it.
