turn signal wiring question

I'm trying to identify which wire gives the power to the lights or the positive wire.

I'm looking at three wires coming out of the corner turn signal socket.

One wire that I know is (black with white strips) is the ground wire.

The other wire is (green with yellow strips).

The last is I believe just a solid green wire.

Can anybody who knows this can tell me what these different wires represents?

In case your wondering why I need to know this cause I'm trying to install sidemarkers on my 04 rolla. And I'm trying to wire it to make my markers flash only when signaling. NOT constant on when headlights are on.

I'm not sure, but if you go behind the bulb, you can unclip the bulb's connector (so that the bulb is still in the head light and you have a female 3-pin connector in your hand) and then turn on the signal and find the 2 wires by inserting into the connector.

Thanks for the reply. I couldn't quit understand the last part of your sentence. "and then turn on the signal and find the 2 wires by inserting into the connector."

Can you explain that better? Thanks

Ok so the (black w/ white strips) is ground

the other two wires are suppose to be:

One would be the "parking lamps"

and the other is the "blinkers"

Which one is which?

There is a solid green wire and the other is a green wire with yellow strips.

Sorry I don't have a manual at this point. Thanks to anybody who can help.

wow no one knows this huh? Ohh well I'll be nice. Just in-case someone is searching.

There are three wires on each turn signal. Right side and left side.

Right side:
wire one- black and white wire= ground wire
wire two- green w/yel strips= turn signal
wire three- solid green= parking lamps

left side:
wire one- black and white wire= ground wire
wire two- green w/black strips= turn signal
wire three- solid green= parking lamps
