Default headlight wiring polartiy

hey guys i need a quick bit of help.

i am working on a headlight mod for my buddies CBR 07 1000rr. anyway i need to know the polarity of the headlight bulb wires. now i think i know but i need to double check so i dont blow the circuity. each plug for the bulbs have a black wire with white dotted lines. i am gonna say that those would be the ground and that the positive on the high beam side is the black with blue stripe and the positive on the low beam is the black with white stripe.

its pretty obvious but i really wanna triple check this before i do it. checking would be as simple as just pulling the bulb and putting a volt meter across the plug to check. if anyone could do that and get back to me that would be great. thanks for your time.

Just leave them disconnected and turn the ignition on and check which wire's have 12v with the low and high beams on.
