Aftermarket LED turn signals front and back won't blink

I know this issue has been risen multiple times, but I just can't find one that is similar to my situation, hence starting a new thread.

I recently bought these 2 aftermarket LED 12v signals:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Universal-Motorcycle-2-x-Motorcycle-14-LED-Turn-Signal-Indicator-Lights-EP98-/111039872229?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19da7dfce5&vxp=mtr

Noticing that they were too short to reach the bike wires, I extended them and they work. (check with 9v battery). I read about relays, flashers, diodes and that they are required to make them work properly. My question now is, what is really required to make these types of signals flash and blink brightly? Where can I buy these relays or flashers and is there a specific size or value I need?

I not all that great with electric so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I'm "pretty sure" that would work. But instead of waiting for it to come in from Hong Kong, just head to your local Autozone or wherever. Look for something that has the same prong setup, and is rated for led signals.

Is it correct to go with the 2 prong relay or 3? Do I need 4 for each signal or 1? Do I need to replace the exising relay for the stock singals?

Is there any pictures of how to assemble something like this?

How many prongs does the stock one have?

I'd guess 2, but don't know personally.
