Icon5 2003 Civic Headlight Wiring Issues

I am replacing a burnt socket on my 2003 civic (Canadian Si) as I am having all kinds of issues with head lights at the moment. The three wires that were attached to the passenger side socket were red/black (which is ground i believe), red/white and red. Every wiring diagram that I have found has not had these color combos so I am lost as to which one is high and low beam. Can anyone help me out on this?

Also the replacement pigtail I have is Pico No 5507 | 3 Wire Sealed Beam Headlamp | Pico of Canada Ltd.
Black is ground. Red/black low? Red high? Or does it not matter for these two on the new pig tail?

The wire colors you're referring to should be for the right headlight on a 2003 Canadian Si.

Terminal no. 1 is Red/Wht (Ground for low beam)
Terminal no. 2 is Red (Power from under-hood fuse no. 17)
Terminal no. 3 is Red/Blk (Ground for high beam)

To use the universal pigtail connector, match up the wiring to the same respective terminals.
