Default Wiring Cobra II Headlight

I am trying to install the CobraII headlight from Eastern Performance on my 07' Softail Custom. The headlight only has a red wire (low beam) and a yellow wire(high beam). There are 4 wires coming out of the stock headlight, 2 yellow ones, a white one, and a black one. Which goes where?? I assume I need to combine the 4 wires and make 2 but which 2 go together ?? Thanks

cant say for sure of the softail but on the dynas its opposite the red wire on the light hooks to the yellow on the bike and the yellow on the headlight hooks to the white on the bike. the black is ground and you get that thru your headlight mount its not needed just tape it off. As for the extra yellow on the softail iam not sure

I know I'm resurrecting an old thread, but just for future views on this page, I want to let future Cobra II headlight owners know that the Yellow goes on the Red and the Red goes on the Yellow. Just like ohioskully said... the wiring is backwards. I don't know why, but it is. here is a picture of mine:
