Just throw what you think is the low beam on the outsides, and highs on the inside. Hook the battery back up and try them out, and rearrange if needed.

Assuming that's what you mean.

turning the connections over worked. i didnt want to mess up anything electrical, so i was hesitant. the locking tab for the connector is on the wrong side so it threw me off.
i spent a long time yesterday sanding and polishing the headlights and this was my cherry on top! 1000% better!
