You need a hoppy taillight converter, an electronic flasher, and a wiring diagram or know how to read a voltmeter.

http://www.amazon.com/Tridon-EP34-Flasher/dp/B00064LQKS Available at any parts store. Ask for EP-34. Replaces the stock flasher on the fuse box and compensates for the difference in current draw of the LED lights. If you don't replace it, your next question will be "Why to my turn signals stay on and buzz?"

http://www.amazon.com/Hopkins-48895...2?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1326081523&sr=1-12 This will convert your lights from a separate turn signal to an all-in-one stop-turn-tail light, so you don't have to cut a hole for an amber turn signal light.

http://www.acksfaq.com/diagram_color_86-88_sam.htm There's your diagram. Study it and learn how to read it. You'll need it.
