Try using a diode. There are numerous posts about this, just do a search and you should be able to find out how to do it. I read on it a while back but don't remember now.

I did the same as CBRFREAK (same lights it looks like). With the 3-wire lights, you get the regular "mild intensity" running lights continuously, but the blink filaments give you a "high intensity" flash. For example, it you wire them backwards with the blink lights going continuous, they will start to melt the light housing (believe me I know). Jury rigging a 2-wire system wont give the brighter flash for blink just a soft blinking action.
