Since your factory harness only has 2 wires, it was likely designed to combine the functions or support only one. Here's what you can do:
1. Figure out which wire on your factory harness is the ground and which is for the turn signal.
2. Attach the ground wire from the Shrockworks harness (usually black) to the ground on your factory harness.
3. Attach the turn signal wire from the Shrockworks harness (often red or yellow) to the hot wire on your factory harness.
4. Connect the running light wire from the Shrockworks harness (usually white) to a new power source that turns on with your running lights, possibly splicing it from another running light wire on your vehicle.

I figured it was going to be something like this. I found out the factory turn/running light is an 1156.
I was hoping not to have to run extra wires, but it is what it is.
