Default blinkers dont work, upgrade 93 to 96 headlights

Can someone tell me how to get the blinkers to work for my 96 headlights that I'm puttin on my 93. The harnessis a perfect fit, however the harness connector to the blinker has an additional in-line bulb.

It was a bad bulb issue, Also had to swap two wires in the harness to get the right bulbs blinking.

The main difference between the 92-94 headlights and the 95-96 headlights is that lower yellow part of the blinker in the 92-94 acts as a reflector, however in the 95-96 they added an additional blinker light in place of the reflector.

Actually, I came to find out that these are JDM, freakin Z pattern is backwards. Maybe that's why ur blinkers don't have bottom blinker. But I think I may consider clearing out the corner, those look clean as heck.

Speakin of, any idea how to get these headlights to US standards?
