turn signal lamps with 3 wires?

I am finally putting the 750EX back together. Installing the front turn signal lamps. 1 lamp has 2 wires (ground and power)with an 1156 1 filament bulb, 1 lamp has 3 wires with a 1157 (2 filament) bulb. Which one is correct? Is there a parking lamp and turn signal in each lamp?
 
3 wire is in the EDIT(front) running light and blinker in (1157 dual filament bulbs). Most all the rears use 1156 single filament as few in the US have rear running lights.

Maybe I'm confused; I went and looked I have dual element (3 wire) in front (i.e.e Running lights and blinkers) and the rear must be dual wire single filament as they do not come on with key only blinker. I guess you could check the schematic for your bike to confirm.

I looked in the manual's schematic it says both front and rear are single element. It must be that I have aftermarket blinkers. The wires are in the front for running lights which apparently I have wired.

You must have a one stock and one after market.

I know I have tried to make all of mine 1157 socketed but it is very difficult to convert the sockets.

OK just hook up the t/s filament. Not sure there was a parking lamp circuit up front anyway. Just surprised to see the third wire.

Most of the larger bikes have a loose brown wire in the headlight bucket. That is connected to the light circuit and can be used for your front running lights.
