I would guess that you just take the turn signal wire off the tail light harness and plug it into the turn signal socket.. But the turn signal wire may carry the signal for the brake lights, although i'm not to sure about that.

It will involve some testing on your end. If you take a small amount of the rubber of your turn signal feed wire and the ground and use a multimeter, you could determine if it does use the turn signal wire to illuminate the the 2nd filament. If there is no voltage fluctuation then all you would have to do is cut the turn signal wire from the tail light socket and run it up to the turn signal socket, also splice a wire from the ground to the new socket.
