1974 honda cb200 headlight and turn signal help

[brownbear]

Hey guys. I have a 74 cb200 I am making a café racer. I am upgrading the headlight (hl) and turn signal combination. It is LED and the turn signals have a 3 wire system... but the original turn signals have only 1 black wire coming from the light. (assuming the ground in inside the light assembly) Just wondering if anybody has run into this and if they have any insight.

Thanks

On my CD the turn signal wires are grey into the switch and orange (left) and light blue (right). Originals are grounded through the frame I think I didn't have any fitted.
If you ground both the new LED black wires to the frame it should work. Could use the fork brace bolt and then splice it into the green wire to connect front end and rear end ground

Also, LED winkers take much less current, so unless you have resistors in line, you may not get a flash, just constant on.
This can be fixed with resistors from eBay or a flasher unit that works with LED, I used the latter again from eBay, works fine
