Long story short I just bought a motorcycle. I noticed that the flashers and general lighting on the bike is quite dim and want to add some led lights to the bike. Essentially I want these Led lights on the bike to be white as default. When I go to make a turn and press the corresponding turn signal I want the Led lights that I have added to the bike on the side that I am turning to change to orange and flash in tandem with my turn signal. The Led strip on the other side will be off. When I finish my turn and stop the turn signal I want the Led to go back to white on both sides as normal.
What I have:
12v power
power signal from each turn signal relay

I've never used an arduino what would I need to buy and how should I do it?
Using an Arduino is not like buying a kit of parts to build a model boat (for example) where there are simple assembly instructions.
You need to start by learning how to use an Arduino. Get an Uno and explore the many example programs that come with the Arduino IDE. Make copies of the examples so you can change them and see what happens.
When you are a lot more familiar with Arduinos you can start to think about the parts that you will need for your project. My guess is that your ideas then will be considerably different than they are now due to your increased technical knowledge.
This is not intended to discourage you. I expect you will get great enjoyment and satisfaction through all of the learning process.
Indeed as Robin2 described, from my point of view buy an Arduino Uno, experiment
with basic leds blinks and flashes and you will understand what you need to do later
