OP - I suggest you remove the lenses to ID where each wire is going. (both lenses, you never know....)
You can then trace each wire to see which one goes to the earth side of the bulb holder. I suspect it will be the green one.
HTH
Pete.

PS you could do a continuity check between each wire in turn and the lamp bodies to find which is the earth. Would have suggested that earlier but I had been on the beer lol.

You're welcome. Well done for sorting it. Electrics is a matter of confidence!

So right; also Mr Honda seems to like green as the neg from my present steed and memories of the earlier ones.
