I am new to this site and was wondering a quick question about flush mount front lights! The lights only have 2wire a red and a black, i know the black is ground! but from the wire harness i have three wires one 1green 1orange and 1orange/white, my problem is that i connected the black to green(ground) and the red to both the oranges my only problem is when i turn th bike on the lights are permanently on the dash does anyone have some wirign suggestions????

One of the wires coming from the bike is a running light wire.

Connect the grounds, black wire form turn signal to green wire bike.
Then I believe the turn signal wire on the bike is the wire that is solid. In your case the orange wire. Connect that with the red wire on the turn signal.

The orange wire with the white stripe from the bike is the running light wire. In your case you don’t need that.

if you want to retain the running light feature put diodes inline on the turn signal and runnin light wire and hook them both to the hot side of the signal. the diodes will stop the back flow of current into the dash so the new signals will act like the old ones.
