Default Street glide aftermarket taillights wiring

New to the forums. So be easy on me 😂

2009 flhx street glide. 4 oem wires to taillights. As follows

orange - running lights
black - ground
Orange white stripe- brake light
Purple - left turn signal
brown - right turn signal

Have a street magic load equalizer wired under seat. Simple

new aftermarket rear lights has 3 wires as follows

orange - running light
black - ground
white - brake and turn signal

wired as follows

orange to orange
black to black
white to orange/white to left purple signal
white to orange/white to right brown signal.

running lights perfect
brake lights work perfect

turn signals not so much

turn left or right on and the front and real lights look like hazards on. What am I doing wrong?

replaced light relay already.

Are you looking at a wiring diagram?

Blue/White is running lamp (Orange/White is for international models).

The light assembly you are trying to use is probably designed to be used with a module that combines the function of the brake light and turn signals.

The bike does not have that capability, there are 4 separate circuits, 1 for each turn, 1 for run lamp and 1 for brake lamp.

You can`t just wire them together.

Yes. On wiring diagram. Also, test light. The previous 3 wire taillights were wired that way. Wired together. Guess these won’t work that way.
