Lights mounted. NEED POWER!

I mounted 12 running lights today. 4 on each running board, and 4 in front. I wanted to divide the lights in two, 6 on each side. I wanted to wire the left side of the running lights in with the left turn signal so all of them blinked with the blinker on. Visa versa. I think its too much of a load, any suggestions? Or any other way of wiring them? I DO NOT want an after market switch to turn them on, I want them to be wired in with the stock parking lamp switch also. PLEASE HELP! Thank you

If you wired them up through a relay you should be ok.

A relay on each side off of each corner light?

So I take a wire off of the factory switch that gives power to turn on the corners, take that, splice it to 2, run one to a relay on each side, run a terminal to power, wire to the lights themselves, and ultimately a ground.

If you wire the lights to come on with your blinkers you may have to install a heavy duty blinker relay to prevent the blinker from flashing real fast.
