Default 96 Civic headlight connector/plug question please help!!

My headlight connector/plug on my 96 civic melted, I bought a new plug from honda, but the old one was so bad I can't even tell where the wires go. Could someone help me out and either take a picture of their plug (driver's side btw) or draw me a diagram of some sort? Thank you!!!

I'll take a picture for you after work. I know for sure high beam is on top. Low beam and Ground is what I forgot. Can you tell by the wire colors? White is high, ground is black and low i believe is brown.

The wires are red/yellow, red/green, and black. The new plug I bought just has two yellow wires and a red, thats why i need a picture or something so I can see where the wires go on the plug itself. Thanks for your help!

Alright.

Wires on your car:

Black - Ground
Red/Green - Low Beam ?
Red/Yellow - High Beam ?

New Plug

Red - Ground ?
The 2 yellows should be high and low.

I'll take detailed pics for you when I get home. Don't worry about the 2 yellows and red... Just match them up to what the stock connectors are located.

Here is my diagram:

I would highly suggest you pick up a multimeter this way you can avoid things like this. They're like $10-$20.

Black = ground

Right headlight:

Red/wht = low

good $hit. This could also help those who are doing hid projector retrofits.
