okay let me catch u up to speed... i want to install the aftermarket signals that came with my 2 bro exhaust... i have the signals and the connector that hooks into the factory harness for the front. I know i am going from 3 wires to 2 wires and i know im losing running amber lights... i dont want them.. so i plugged them in and they dont work and when plugged in they make my rear signals a solid amber and signals do not work... does this make sense? and if so can some one help me with this dilemma? thanks for anyhelp

Sounds like you have a short. The wires are probably wired incorrectly in the connector. Double check the wires of the signals you want to install and compare them to the stock signals.

if the signals aren't blinking you probably have a problem with the flasher,unless you have the wires incorrectly connected. I'm assumeing your talking about the front signals (hence the three wire) you may have the wire hooked to the marker light lead instead of blinker/ground
