Went through this when I changed my front blinkers. All the wiring on mine was black, so I had to test it by "trial and error" to get it right.

Then look up the model number at the manufactures website.
The instructions are out there somewhere.

Or you can do as Uncle G says and just do a quick connect till you get it right then solder them into place.

Actually that is probably the quickest way to do it as you don't have many options for combinations on your wires.

Default Blinkers

Than yall for yalls help. I switched the wires around, and I have blinkers. The third wire coming from the new blinkers, are not connected to anything, and the blinkers and marker lights work. Should I connect both of the ground wires to the bike just to be on the safe side, or should it matter. I'm just glad my blinkers and marker lifts work as they should.

As I said, the ground for the turn signals is already through the frame. The ground wire is provided in case the turn signals are mounted to an insulator (like a rubber mount). In your case, it's not needed, so if it were me, I'd remove the unneeded wire.
