Turn Signal Flasher Relay Wiring

I did search. I found some good info, but not what I was looking for.

I put on Motrax Arrow LED turn signals.

I also bought a Motrax Universal Flasher Relay.

My problem is, the relay comes with only Black and Red wires. While the stock relay has 3 wires; White/green stripe, Gray, Green.

From the reading, one of them is power in parallel for the brake lights, correct?

So is it safe to assume that I can put green to black, and combine White/Green and Gray to red?

If not, who has info on a LED flasher relay that is a direct plug in for Honda.

Thanks.

That would be bad (but not horrible). Flasher red to white/green on harness. Flasher black to grey on harness. Leave green on the harness unconnected.

So green isn't the ground in this case. Ok. Thank you Greg, I was not going to cut any wires until I knew where they went.

Green is the ground. White/green from the harness is hot, grey outputs to the signal switch. Not really sure why the new flasher doesn't need a ground, but that's the way mine is wired and it worked.
