The only downside to this is that when you use the standing lamps it will run the battery down quicker because the side marker lamp is running as well. But IMHO it's worth that loss to not have to run a new wire all the way to the back of the car!

Instead of connecting the side marker light to the rear running light, why not connect it to the license plate light circuit? Then it would function in the OEM way.
