HELP! Headlight Wiring

Can anyone please help me? I'm trying to hardwire my HID's and the harness coming out of the car has 3 wires I need to splice into and I don't know which is positive, negative, etc. The wires coming out of the HID bulbs are red, and black. The 3 wires coming out of the harness from the car are as follows: PASSENGER SIDE - green, blue, orange. DRIVER'S SIDE - yellow, green with yellow stripe, and black. Which wires connects to which?

Yellow is highbeam, green is lowbeam, and black is ground. I may have switched around the low/high... check with a multimeter or test light.

It's weird though because both harnesses on the car have different colored wires, I typed it in the first post which color's are on which side. What I'm trying to ask though is which colors do I match to the red and black wires from the HID's to the harness in the car which have a weird color code.

Both plugs have identical harness so the passenger and drivers plugs are the same (just the colors are different).

Your HID kit probably has an adaptor kit/harness for 9004? so it should just plug in... if not you just send the lowbeam or highbeam wire to the HID CONTROLLER (not the HID "bulb" itself).
