Default Clear corner replacment, 2 prong plug?

I just recieved a new clear corner to replace one that I destroyed with a cone.
The previous owner installed them along with a tubo bumper, when I got the replacement the plug-in only had 2 spades for the wiring and the one on the car has 3.
Do I need to order a different plug or send the new ones back to Pelican and order euro clear corners
I cut the plug off and installed female spades on the red-grey / black-green, but the lght blinks dim and the marker light blinks too.
I did a search but couldn't confirm if I've got to get a new 3 prong plug to go in the new clear corner.

It looks like that the European version of corner lights has a 2 prong plug instead of 3 prong for the US. I think it has something to do with different functionality. At least in Germany, the corner lights do not light together with the head light. I received mine the same two weeks ago.

I just swapped the old complete holder with the "old" 3 prongs and got me new bulbs. They need to have 2 connectors at the bottom (Type 1157). I got chrome ones from ebay.

I hope this helps.

Years ago when I got mine I had the same problem-I just used the old ones in the car.

Thanks Guys, I appreciate the link for the bulbs

The problem is the bulb holder went bye bye when I hit the cone on the track, does any one know if they sell just the bulb holder or if someone has one they're not using I'll buy it.
