Just an FYI. I decided to change out my old 14 year old dim halogen bulbs for LED's. As a matter of habit, I always check polarity on any wiring. I always suggest everyone to do the same when working with anything electrical.

Luckily, before connecting the new LED light. I discovered, the HB drivers side had been wired backwards at the factory (White with a Black stripe to + and Green to -). It would not matter for the Halogens, but would have destroyed the LED.
