      Smart ass ;). Both wires on the light are black. it could be either technically. I put a fresh connector on, after not having one, with new oem wires. So if you spin the cars wiring then it could be either pin

      But after talking with a few people I went with the right in my picture

        it dosent matter. it goes either way. I ran into the same problem when wiring my city lights, so i figured i would just go YOLO (like a fucking hipster) and guess. Worked the first shot.
        I don't even own this car anymore, but I'm too lazy to change the picture.

            Yeah that would have been easiest. My car isn't at my house so I have to lug my tools with me and I left it in the roller

              it is a DC current thru a filament. what difference does it make?

              functionally it makes 0 difference which you chose to be 12+ and 12-.
