Default Watsen lights need help!!

I took off both the stock front turn signals to put on the Watsens. However, I think something is wrong somewhere. First I attached the two wires from the Watsens to the factory wires (green ground to black, solid orange and blue to the white). I hooked up one first to see how it went, but I seem to be having some problems. When I put the ignition on, the light doesn't come on which is good. However, if I use the turn signal to go the the Watsen light, it says on constant. Then if I switch to the factory light, it blinks. Then if I go back to the Watsen light, it blinks. If I turn them off and back to the Watsen one, it goes back to solid on. It seems like if I go to the factory turn signal and then to the Watsen it works fine. I have no idea what is going on. On top of that, I put both factory signals back on, and I don't have the running lights. I assume that's some sort of fuse, but I don't know where to find it. Any help would be great!!!

Sorry, it's a 04 CBR 600RR. I'll take a look and see if my fuse box is in that spot.... Thanks.

we have the 03-04 shop manual floating around here... that's where it is. As for wiring up the lights, use a test light to make sure you have the turn signal or marker light. It's easy to get them mixed up

Are you running LED rear turn signals as well? If you are you will have to add the load resistors that come with Watsen's. The LED lights do not have enough electrical load to activate the flasher relay. I have installed LED signals on some bikes that act just as you describe. Currently I'm running the Watsen's on my 954. They blink fast, but I'm still running the stock rears for now. Try adding the load resistors. It sounds like you wired them correctly.
