Default LED taillight how to ?

Hi all

I bought this ages ago & it arrived this morning.
It fits well enough & the tail / brake light part works really well & is bright & visible.
However, being a cheap Chinese thing , there are no instructions at all & so I cannot figure how to get the flashers to work. There just does not seem to be enough wiring on the back of the thing.

Please help !

With only three wires coming off of the thing, I don't see how it would be possible to run the turn sigs on this also. I would guess the three wires are ground, run/tail and brake. You would need more wiring coming off the board to be able to use the turn function I would imaging.

I just put LED lights on my bike, front just plugs into existing light socket, same with the back. Except mine had two extra wires, one for brakes and the other as a running light.
Now my thing is I just plugged them in. From the looks of it the easiest way to hook them up is to pull the rear rim. I did not want to open that can of worms yet.
For me If I can't get my spokes cleaned up I will be replacing rims and I'll wire it up then.

I suspect you may be right.
