The Optronics Mini Amber LED Clearance or Side Marker Light part # MCL131AC210B is a single function light that although is designed to be used as a clearance or marker light can be used as a turn signal without issue. The light grounds though the mounting hardware so just attach the black wire to your turn signal circuit and you will be good to go.

Please note, if the turn and brake signals are combined the light will illuminate with the brake lights as well but would then start flashing with the turn signal. If you wanted the light to only flash with the turn signals and you have combined lighting circuits then you'd have to separate them out with a converter, part # 118158.
