Blue-white is main beam, and blue-red dip.

I very strongly recommend that you take the opportunity to fit entirely seperate earths for the left and right lights. It may save your life one day. Failure of the common earth (black wire) is all too common, and causes immediate loss of both main and dip. Very bad on a dark road at night.
