One wire will be the high beam and the other will be the low beam, can't remember which is which. Plug in the ground and turn the lights on, turn your light switch to low beam and connect one of the two wires from the headlight to the wiring harness. If the low beam comes on, connect it for good and you're good to go, if the high beam comes on switch the wires around. Once everything is connected check it again by toggling your hi/low switch and make sure it's correct. If all's good you're good to go!

I had a motorcycle that was the same way, can't remember what wires I had to connect but I know they were mismatched when I was done.
