Default Help isntalling flush mounts

Hi, my friend just bought flush mounts and he wants me to install it for him since I did mine. The thing is, his flush mounts are different from mine. They come with the blinkers, the plastic washers, and these blue plastic pieces. I think they are used to clip onto the blinker wire assembly (made that up). Not sure how I am supposed to connect the flush mount wires to the plastic pieces. They say AWG 18-14 on them. Does anyone know what to do with these?

If so, wire through holes, twist together, bend bare wire back in close sh,t.

Wow, that was so simple. Took me about 20 minutes just looking at it and trying to figure it out. In the end, all I did was cut the stock blinkers off and just rewired the flush mounts onto it (eh, is that understandable?) Anyway, sorry about the question. I kind of ghetto rigged it without using those blue plastic connector things. But thanks for your input. Yeah, the flushmounts were successful. Took only about 45 minutes to do my friend's bike.

Honestly, I use butt connectors over those.

BTW, how will it work if you are supposed to put the negative and positive wires through those two holes? Isnt the metal piece one piece itself?

^^ ?????????

You use one for the positive, one for the negative.

Best thing to do is cut off the connector off the old stock turnsignal.....then crimp it on the new signals, using butt-connectors or pig-tail connectors (or solder it).

Oh okay. One plastic piece for each, neg and pos. Yeah, I just ended up cutting the old connector off the stock signals. But then, all I did was twist the wires together and E-taped it.
