Default I think I killed my highbeam

I was trying to connect the wires for the bi-xenon projectors. On the highbeam which wire is negative and which wire is positive? One wire is red the other is white with a red stripe.

Wait, I thought you have the Bosch Bi-xenon projectors? That's a 3 wire motor and needs a different way to trigger the bi-xenon solenoid. As for the wires, mine are both black but one has a green stripe. The one with the stripe is the positive. I'm not sure about yours though. Best way to make sure is to use a multimeter.

Yea the projectors have 3 wires: green, black and red. So the white wire with the red stripe on the car is the positive and the red is the negative?

Jeff I'm talking about the wires that are on the car. One is red and the other is white with a red stripe. The ones on the projectors are green, black and red.

Well I found out that I didn't mess up my electrical system I just burned a fuse, thank God. But now I just need to know on the car which wire is positive and which wire is negative.
