Black should be the ground wire. There are two other wires, since one of them should be the running light, and one of them should be the brighter turn signal. If you want to see which is which, just connect the black wire to the negative battery post, and then alternate the other two wires on the positive post to see which is brighter (you should wire the brighter one in as your turn signal).
I hope that helps.

Black is the ground, purple is the hot lead for turn signal. Blue is the running light. If you don't want to use it, just cut it short and tape it over. If it it fits, you can push it back into the light housing before you tape it off.

RE: Anybody wire in turn signals?
thanks so much for the replys. so I bought a meter at napa and I've been testing things right off of the battery with some wires. this is what has happened so far:
ok edit...just deleted all that crap. I've got it figured so when I hook everything up, they turn signals just FLASH. Then when I push the button they turn OFF and the flasher makes a fast click noise that dosn't stop. What have I done wrong?

Couple of questions -
1. Are these stock turn signal fixtures?
2. Are they using 1157 bulbs or are they LED?
3. When the lights are flashing, are all 4 flashing?
