If your wiring is original:
black- ground
red/black- high beam
green/black- low beam

I can't remember for sure if the hi/ low beams are correct or reversed. Once you figure out ground, you should be able to figure out the other wires.

With the back of the headlight facing you and the terminals facing like a "U". The left terminal is the ground, the right terminal is low beam, and the center is high beam.
