working on a 2002-2005 model honda motorcycle i added the all in one l.e.d. light in the back now i am doing the mirrors with blinkers.problem is that the mirrors do not have parking lights, only blinkers. the parking lights on the bike complete the circuit so now nothing works. any advice???

Did you remove the parking lights from the bike? You really need to give us more info in order to be able to help you.

Do the aftermarket mirrors have running lights and blinkers? Or is that your question, can you make the blinkers double as running lights?

sorry for not being so specific here it goes. i took off the rear bracket that holds the licensce plate, parking lights/ blinkers and a couple of reflectors. i then added an led that did all of that in one got that to work fine. now i want to do the same with the front. get rid of the brackets, and add the mirrors with blinkers. here is the issue the are three wires coming from the bike the blinkers, running lights, and ground. my guess is that the parking lights complete the circuit but the mirrors only have 2 wires power and ground. so what can i do because now nothing works. is it possible to hook up the mirrors to work as parking lights and blinkers??

Yes that should be possible. I doubt that the front lamps being disconnected are keeping the rear lights from working. Have you checked all fuses in the fuse box? Do you have a volt meter?
