Default wiring '93-'97 Firebird headlights to '98up?

I have converted my 1995 Formula exterior to an '01 T/A exterior. The body shop attempted to wire the original single headlight setup to the new dual headlight setup. All that functions now are the low beams and not the high beams. I would like to know the correct way to wire it before I get under there and check it out.

Any help would be appreciated.

Some one has to have done this during a front end swap.

when i did my swap i just cut off all of the connectors and matched up the wire colors, the 95 has 2 connectors one with 3 and one with 2, the 2 connectors go to the motor so cut off the 5 pin connector for the 01 then find the 2 wires that go to the headlight motor connect the 2, if you wired them wrong then when you turn the lights off they pop up so just switch them if that happens. For the 3 that connect to the lights the 3 wires left from the 01 should just match right up color for color.

edit- you might want to check and see if your bulb is blown in one of them.

Thanks for the help.
sometimes they have them wired in sequence. check both your bulbs if one is black or broken inside chances are thats the problem.
