Default new headlight install help

I bought a new 5 3/4 8" headlight for the bike. Question is I took the old one off and it has 3 wires. A white, yellow and black. White is High beam yellow is Low and the black would be ground. The new headlight only has 2 wires. A Red and a Yellow. Any ideas on how to wire this up? I think im going to loose either my low or my high beams.

thanks
jason

Just installed one as well. you don't need the black just cap it off. The new headlight grounds itself when it is mounted. On mine (after I wired it up backwards) the yellow on the new light went to the white on the bike and the red on the new light went to the yellow on the bike.
