    How are these strip lights supposed to be wired in? ie, what circuits do they need?

    It's obviously wired incorrectly. Go get two relays. Tap your signal from either your marker or turn signal lamps. They'll only turn on when either your marker or turn signal is active.

    Good Luck....

    What are the installation instructions? We can spend lots of time playing guessing games. It would help to understand how the manufacturer of these lights says to install them.

    A power? A ground? A turn "signal"? What?
