I have no clue about the colors, but the aftermarket lights only have 2 wires because they will no longer work as running lights. A test light will tell you which is hot.

The black is ground, or (-) negative. It almost always is. The blue is the running light and the other (green or brown) is the signal. If you hook black to black you can try the other combinations. The problem is that the new signals are not designed to be running turn signals like the stock signals are. That is okay, you just have to live without them. You can hook black to black and white to green or brown (Side dependent) and you will be good.
and the remaining wire? just keep it covered perhaps?

Fold it over itself, cut the exposed wire, electrical tape it and zip tie it up out of the way.

ok to correct myself its not a red but a green wire, as said earlier is suppose to be the signal. i tried black/black and white/green. negative on that one =/ doesn't turn on as a running or a blinker. im going to try black/black, and blue/white

tried it and i got the light to turn on but its just a running light, it doesn't blink when i turn on the signal. the integrated tail light is flashing for the turn though.

With aftermarket 2 wire blinkers, they are not "running lamps" and typically will not fucntion as such.

Just wire up the two, and leave the blue/white ( which is the running power line ) disconnected. You will lose the front runners, but who cares ? Ride with your brights on.

NOTE: check your local highway laws to insure it isn't illegal to remove front running lamps on a motorcycle.

You have 6 wire from both side. 2 should be black (1 each side) Technically the running light should be the same color on each side then the turn signal should be 2 different color...
from the cut wires there are one black, one blue and one dark green, and from the new lights there is one black and one white....what a headache

i connected the aftermarket wire with the green and nothing happened at all. with the blue wire its at least a running light...

On the bike: one side is black, blue and green
other side is black, blue and brown?

new signal: black -> black
white with green and brown (??? L or R)

Just connect the black then leave the signal on. try with your white wire each other wire until it blink...
that was it i had it one the opposite sides that they were suppose to be:facepalm: thanks everyone! no running lights but the blinkers are good to go!!!

Yeah, that is what I was trying to get at earlier, you wouldn't have running lights since the new signals aren't able to be ran as running lights. Just remember, Black is almost always ground, and you need a ground and a (+) or positive. With the three wires it is a little confusing, but there is a second (+) which is the running light. You would need to have a three wired signal. They could probably be hooked up as running turns...but they wouldn't flash in the same pattern as the rear. If you want to see what I mean, I had my angel eyes hooked up that way, and they are two wire:
