Turn signal install question

I purchased these Custom Dynamics Bullets.

Currently I red have turn signals that run solid until I brake and then turn brighter. They also act as turn signals.

My question is the new lights have three wires. Ground, Low and Bright. However the turn signals I have now don't have three wires. They have two.

What do I do?

The reason the old ones have 2 wires is that they're self grounding. Bring the ground wire up under the seat and ground it to the frame.

A friend of mine has those on his bike.
For some reason the right rear turn signal was the only thing that lit up when the brakes were applied.
It melted its plastic lens.
