Black with yellow stripe to the positive and blue to the negative IIRC but that's just off the top of my head. You can double check in the FSM at www.xenons130.com

I could go look under my hood, but it's dark and raining outside and I judt got home after one helluva day.

Sounds like you swapped the wires around. That link Fric posted is a cool tool... FREE factory service manual!!! If that's too much to do, find a Haynes guide. I live by that thing.
