Default Need some wiring help.

So I'm planning to ditch my stock rear lights on my 2013 48. I've gotten the Joker compact LEDs and the HD tucked rear fender running light/brake light. I'd like to wire it all up so that the running light/brake light does just that and the LED turns are off unless indicating a turn. The stock set up is the two side indicators do everything now and have 3 wires. Anyone know how to wire this stuff up to make it work the way I want? I believe plugging the fender light in with the supplied harness will take care of that part, but I figured I'd ask while I've got the whole rear end taken apart so I only have to do this once. Thanks!

I'll answer my own haha....clip the blue wire and cap it off. Just do v to v, b to b and solder it, heat shrink it, and hook it up. Works great and looks way cleaner back there now.
