Default JDM EK Sidemarkers, am I missing a wire?

the one on the right has 3 wires. the one on the left has 2 wires. Is there supposed to be 3 on each?

my ek sides came the same way. Just cut the blue one, they will still work perfectly. I think the third wire is for the passenger side to blink and still stay lit up (i think it's the pass side with the extra wire can't remember).

When you wire, connect the two green wires together.

search for the wiring instructions, right now mine only stay on, I haven't had time to wire them up to blink as well. I think you can either have them stay on or blink, you would have to wire up a relay or something to get them to do both.

Not if you wire them correctly.

thats what i thought.. i know ive seen people have them wired up to blink and stay on. I think that 3rd wire is the key.

Actually, these people usually just connect them to the positive turn signal wire and the positive parking light wire, rather than connecting them to the positive turn signal wire and an earth (which would be the correct way).

im gonna add 1 wire to the turn signal, and the other to the parking light and the black to ground. I'll see if that works and how good it is.

Just wire them into the turn signal positive and ground. That's the way they are designed to function.
