    There are 2 wires to the headlights. One is black and one is red. Any idea which one is for the high beams?

    there should be three going to the light. one for high, one for low and one for the ground. Or are you talking about coming off of the dimmer switch?

    Black and red go to the lights and the ground is in the bucket that goes to a mounting screw

    Haynes manuals have excellent wiring diagrams with wire colors.

    IIRC red was high, it would be a long walk back to the jeep(actually a long swim) right now to check so hopefully someone here can verify
