Turn Signal Flasher for Switchbacks

Go back and double (triple) check your wiring. I suspect you connected the wrong end of the brown wire to power. You need to cut the brown wire near the front light socket on both sides and connect the end that goes to the lamp to an ignition controlled power source. The end of the brown wires that go into the wiring harness toward the car must be insulated to prevent shorting out. The unused Firebird headlight door fuses are constant (battery) power not ignition controlled.

So I ran 1 wire right off the passenger side parking light “big bulb” and ran that straight to my fuse box and used the trans-am light fuse so now it works fine but if my headlights are off during the day i get the 2 green lights on the dash if not everything works fine

Did you cut the brown wire near the front lamp or did you just splice into it? If you spliced into it you will be introducing electrical current into circuits which you shouldn't. And please tell me you have not connected the side marker light in any way... it is not involved in this modification and will cause electrical current to back feed into the headlight/parking light circuit.
The modification, when done exactly as described, will not cause any side effects like you are experiencing so you need to go back and look at your wiring.

I'm not following how you have three ends. Here is a diagram of how the wiring should be on each side. If yours is not like this then you should change it to match the diagram. Note that the side marker light IS NOT included in this setup.

Hey so I just fixed my wires so on driver side i got my ignition switched wire coming straight off the brown wire on the parking light and ran that wire to the other side put them together and ran them back to my fuse with ignition switch and I am still having the same issue with them not cutting on during the daytime and the hazzard light being on if I turn the headlights on everything works as should

May I suggest you try at least once wiring them exactly as my description and diagram show rather than adding your own modifications? I assure you that when properly wired, there are no side effects at all. I'm afraid there is just no other way for me to explain it so I will be dropping out of this conversation until you have wired them as specified without modification... that includes leaving the side marker lights to their factory connections and not including them in this modification in any way.
