For the BMW headlight conversion, do I wire the ground wire to both the low beams and the high beams or just the low beams?

Sorry, kinda hard to decipher your code there. So does that mean I attach the ground wire to both the high beam and the low beam?

ground

ok u have three wires on the headlight socket one is ground
the other 2 is for positive for high and low beam.... now the bmw lights need 2 new sockets ..one for high beam and low.... it doesnt matter which side of socketwires u have to the ground u can share the grounds or ground them individually..... the low beam wire gets the 9006 socket and the high beam gets the 9005 socket.... i cant explain it any easier than that.... if u cant figure it out there is someone else with the conversion.... it took me like 30 minutes to wire it......or u can help me out and ask what part u dont understand
