Looking at the manual it appears that black is negative and black/yellow or black/green is positive, however the diagram was really tiny and hard to read clearly. I would start here using a voltmeter they are very cheap from places like Maplin. Hopefully someone else will know more!

Both wires are black coming from the back of the bulb, then go into a connector further down where they turn black/whatever (think it depends on the year) Just check with a multimeter (with the ignition on!)
