Default Headlight

I bought a new headlight from Eastern Performance and I was looking at the wires. My stock headlight has 3 wires but my new headlight only has 2. I was wondering what I need to do? Please help!

The headlight ground is through the body on the new one and your original one is grounded through the wire. Take it apart and look inside, you can figure out which wire does what by comparing them.
