Wiring help? LED strobe turnsignals

[UrbanRedneckKid]

K, just lookin for somebody to confirm what I'm thinking will work.

What I got,
*94 Ranger w/ LED turn signals and running lights already installed.
*an Able2 Sho-Me 11.1005SF flasher

What I wanna do,
Wire flasher to control turn signal side of lights, both left and both right on separate outputs. (not for my actual signals, just for non-driving use. Not to activate with my signal switch)
I also wanna try to keep all the wiring near the steering column and dash fuse panel.

My issue,
The front and rear turn signal circuits are separated in the multi-function switch, due to the brake lights.

These are the extremely simple wiring instructions for the flasher.

What I was thinking of doing was,
*Tie the flasher out puts into the, left and right, front turn signal wires.
*Then wiring a jumper between the front and rear signal wires, with a diode soldered in the middle as to not back feed power from the back to the front, when the brakes are applied.

Sound good?

What if, instead of running just a plain diode wrapped up in heatshrink and tucked up under the dash,... I put small LED strips in left and right floor boards, and use the positive and negative leads from those to jump between the front and rear circuits...? Or possibly rewire my cargo lights in the same manner...?

94 has a 3 bulb taillight. The signals are already separated.
..I just thought of that this morning outside of work.

K now that I got now BS to deal with, I can figure out how to incorporate the cargo lights and reverse lights.

Anyone know if an HID ballast would hold up to a strobe signal...?

No...it won't.

I have LEDs all around including back up lights and all have flashers on them...The flashers are not designed to have a regular bulb load on them (even the turn signal bulb in the instrument cluster), you have to wire after the turn signal switch and you have to diode protect the flasher from backfeeds, otherwise when you apply the brakes, turn signal, backup light, etc it will short out the flasher...
