That's a smart way to avoid the cowl conversion, which I don't like. You can eliminate the switch with two 2-amp diodes (1N4002), striped end to the lighting switch and other to each bulb. Just remember to turn off parking lamps before you pull away from the curb, flasher won't work.
I thought I'd be a smartypants and fitted two 6V relays and resistors so cowl lamps glow dim and flash full bright when signaling. Works, but in retrospect it's kind of a dumb idea - who signals when they're parked?? And it's a royal snarl behind the kick panel. But it's done, so I'll live with it.
