I think you'll be OK. The turn signal flashes the brake light filament/LED, so if you simply wire the center lights into the circuit in parallel with the side lights they should flash with the outers, but not be lit when the tail light filament is lit on the outers. Kind of like a third brake light, for turns....

I think I got it. Please correct me if I'm wrong. In the simplest of terms the tail lights are usually run through the headlight switch then the signal switch (flasher) makes them blink where as these inner signals will be run directly to the signal switch bypassing the headlight switch.
