Default 2 wire turn signals

I just bought some new flush mount turn signals for the front of my 95 f3. problem is, the bike is set up for 3 wire lights and i bought 2 wire. does anyone know how i can wire these (if at all) without having to solder pieces and buy more parts?

2-wire aftermarket turn signals cannot be used as both turn signals and running lights like your factory ones. They can only be used for one or the other the way they come. Or you can do like the link shows and use them for both running lights and turn signals.

I followed the instruction from the link above. I was able to use the front running light AND turning signals. when I used the turn signal, one side would blink and the other side just stay solid amber. However, I notice the blinking rate is a little faster comparing to the stock rate. Other than this, every works just fine.
