Default Flush Mount Turn Signal Problems

I ordered a cheapo set of flush mount turn signals off ebay and now i'm running into problems (duh).

The lights I received only have two wires (since the harness didn't match much anyway). A yellow and black. From the bike, i have an assortment of colors. Two green (on both sides) which I figure is the ground. And four Blue/Orange, one solid and one with a stripe.

I cannot figure out for the life of me how to get these working. Any insight would be greatly appreciated so I could get back on the road!

Thanks!

Yep, the green ones are ground/negative, the other one of the two is your turn signal wire (intermittent), and the other one is for steady running lights. I believe the solid colored wire is RL, and the striped wire is TS. You can either wire them for turn signals ONLY, which is what I did, or you can perform a mod for maintaining the running light/turn signal setup: LINK.

Yeah, not a lot to it. There aren't any "high quality" flush-mounts; it's all plastic junk form China. I've got a set and they're fine.
