Default Projector headlights - fuse blowing

I have these headlights on my 95 gst. After my accident they fell out and I had to reinstall them. Thing is, there are two wires, a red and a black that are unconnected. Is one a ground? All I know is after I installed them, I blew the headlamp fuse.

Thx

usually with wiring the red is hot and the black is ground.

Thx guys, is that a general rule of thumb (red power/blk ground?)

So where do I connect the red wire? Anyone know how I can get an install manual? I dont remember, but I never had the red wire connected to anything. Lol I just grounded the black I think.

Ok, well splicing sounds more my speed. Switches more your speed. I'll catch up soon.

Thx.

haha the switch is crazy easy, just buy one from auto zone, mount it whereever you want in ur car (i drilled a hole and mounted 'em right under my cd player on the center console) and wire it up, real easy and looks kinda cool. every girl that got in my car was like "IS THAT NOS?!?!" and i was like "yup, wanna have sex??" haha worked every time

EDIT> i think you can hook that red wire to your corners... so that the halo goes on with the corners
