Side Marker Light Wiring Question?

I just got my side marker lights and have them installed. They have three wires coming out of them, BLack , Red, and yellow. I have the yellow and black hooked up to the turn signal lights, but were do I hook the ignition wire if I have them to be on with my headlights but not on all the time. If I hook it to the radio ignition they stay on all the time. Thanks for the help

They should only blink with your turn signals.

These are the aftermarker tiny ones that you have to drill into your fender. Who has hooked these up?

You only need to use two of the three wires to make them do what you want them to do....blink with your turn signals right? I'm not sure why they have three wires. I had these installed on my '95. There were only two wires--positive and ground. Probably, the third wire on yours is a "constant 12V" feed. You don't actually need this. If you tap into your turn signal harness, you should have no problem.
