Default Help identifying third wire for side marker

okay, quick question. the side marker on the left has two wires, green/yellow for power and solid black for ground. why does the side marker on the right have three wires? it's two solid blue wires and one black wire. can i wire the side marker on the right the same as the one on the left? basically saying wiring the two blues together as power and black as ground? and i don't think they are jdm cause they're not square.

i do believe the third wire is a singal wire to be spliced into the corner light to signal the blinking

u dont need to wire the third wire on to the left one, once you connect both blue wire to the postive wire from the turn signal then connect the black, it will blink on its own.

they should still work. it'll just look a little bit more flush. and i don't really feel like buying a set. i got these free from my cousin a while back. just never put them on, and thinking about it, it was for my eg i had back then.

but do i need to add a third wire to the one on the left or just leave it?
