Im installing my HIDs, and im tryin to find the positive n negative to the low beams [i removed stock head lights to replace with the angel eye headlights, so i got that wiring harness and i looked to see the wires that were cut into and connected to the harness, i saw a Red/Black Stripe, Red/Yellow Stripe and Black wire that where being used by the new harness [these wires all go to the bulb connect im assuming?], then a Black and Orange/Black Stripe that were just cut and taped off [fog lights maybe?] My question is what is each wire goin to? I looked for a diagram but couldnt find one. Im thinking obviously the black in both cases are the negative wire, one is low beam n one is high beam. Then the Orange/Black Stripe is the positive for the fog lights [if thats what those to wires are for].....can someone clear this up for me? Im installing my HIDs and i need to know which is the negative and positive low beam so i can connect the wires from my ballast to them...

Black is ground.

What you can do is, connect black to grounds, then test connect the wires, then turn your lights on, if one appears as high beam on low beam switch setting, then turn lights off and swap the sides of the wires.

Check this thread (http://www.sr20forum.com/technical-information-library/208956-how-b14-installation-jdm-crystal-clears-corners-pic-heavy.html#post2061827) out, your wires should be similar.
