Need Help with headlights

It doesn’t have one the guy before me must of cut it ? Because it was missing the ballast that’s the whole reason that lead to me swapping the whole bulb and ballast he had aftermarket bulbs on I don’t understand why when this car should have them stock . But I’m left with two wires I guess he cut those off to power the previous ones but when I tried putting those wires on the spade connectors it doesn’t work any ideas ?

I would assume the green wire would be the positive but Nissan loves to do things against common practice...so turn on the headlights and test it out with a multimeter just to be 100% sure.

Alright thanks man I appreciate all the help brotha I’ll get to that as soon as I get home from work
It looks like its either black, brown, or gray. I cant tell either and I tried looking at the wiring diagram in the FSM but that thing is a useless piece of $hit.

The one for the whole headlight ? Yeah I plugged all in all lights work except hid which I assume are powered from somewhere else since they have no connection to the headlights unless I connect them to the green and brown wires coming from actually headlights so I connected them but still HIDs dont power on guy who had connected them before me had them connected to those wires on that photo the photo I posted is before I swapped those HIDs and but the new ones with spades that’s how he had the old HID bulbs connected to those two wires that are now just dangling after I removed the old HID bulbs he had put in there I’m guessing he cut the actual connection to ballast and spliced ? But if so why isn’t powering these HIDs when I connect them ? Am I missing something I swear these lights are giving me more trouble than they should be ... side note if I connect 12v to spades HIDs work so not the bulbs ... just not getting power that why I thought of just ordering this harness I saw online for fog light add on I think but works with any bulbs with spades you think it would be worth a shot ? Just power it separately and get power straight from battery?
