Sun visor power hookup

Hi. I am installing 96 visors in my 92 SE. The visors have plugs with one orange and one white wire. Before I go and toast the Homelink transmitter by reversing the power, I thought I would ask if anyone knew which was +12 and which was ground.

Thanks.

There's a benefit to putting on 4th Gen visors?

if they require power, my guess would be that they, or at least the pass side one has a light on the vanity mirror

I have a 4th gen (1997) and both sides have a vanity mirror with lights.

The 4th gen visors both have lighted mirrors and, in some cases, the drivers side has a Homelink transmitter. The visors are the same size, just the attachment side is different. I had to drill a new screw hole for one of the screws, the other one went in the normal hole.

Yes, Homelink is a garage door opener. Apparently it can also control X10 units (to turn on house lights, etc)

connect homelink to 9v battery (yes, small one) and find which wire is which.
yes, homelink will work from 9v battery and no - it wouldnt fry it.

BTW, there is no need to replace the whole thing - i placed my homelink in an original sunvisor:
