Nice write up, and it does look factory!
I did mine a little easier. I just bought 1 GM socket and took one wire out if it for each tail. To get the wire out all i did was take the inside brown part of the socket out. It comes out by simply pushing the two locks on the side in and pulling it out. When you take it out you see the 3 wires on the bottom. All i did was pull one of them wires out and installed it on the blinker socket thats on the car. So its like a factory connection still.
With the wire installed into the stock socket, i just took the other end of it and put it in a scotch lock which was tapped into the middle wire (low filament) on the main tail light socket.
Its an easy way of doing it, and still somewhat clean. Heres a pic of how its set up.

Just any ole GM socket at parts store?
Everyone's turn signal on the innner most portion of tail light?
