I'm from Calgary and I have a Canadian car. The headlight plug has 3 wires, and it's black, dark green, dark blue. Don't go by colors because the black wire is 12V. The easiest way to tell is to take a voltmeter, take the (-) tap, and throw it on ground. Then measure the 3 wires and you'll see whats power, and what's ground. Don't rely on colors.
