Then bite the bullet.
Run with what you have until the new proper parts show up,, then list what you have here in the classifieds to recover some of the $$.

Ive done the diode/resistor trick on a few bikes. Slightly different values but there is a lot of leeway with this.

I believe this is what you are looking for, devil dog (assuming):

Call them up and they'll sort you out.

Mchad beat me to it. The TrueFlex Dual connector is what you need. It has two wires going in and one coming out (brake /turn wire and the running light wire), it is designed for going from a three wire to a two wire. You'd need two of them, one for each light.

Those are pre-assembled diode+resistor circuits. The difference between them is the resistor value. That controls the level of brightness for the Park/Run condition. Turn/Brake goes thru the non-resistor leg.
