Default installing blinker socket

I bought a new light bulb socket for my blinker because the one now is all burnt out and coroded.

but how do i install the new socket? it came with three wires running from the socket. do i cut the old socket wires and solder the new wires to the ends of the old ones? or do i just twist them together and put caps over them? or what, im confused...

the ones from GM have the little crimpers included in the package, do NOT get a generic socket. Also take a GOOD picture of the "coroded" plug sometimes they just look coroded and arent really bad.
