Default Which wire is which??

Hey guys, ièm trying to wire my rigid duallys to the new rocker switch i got from OTRATTW.com but im having a problem.

I had to replace the female connectors on the dually wires with larger ones to fit thw rocker switch, that wasn`t the problem, the problem is trying to figure out which one of the dually wires in the negative, power from battery and power to the lights.
I tried different configurations and could not get it to work.

Im guessing the top two wires (red and black) is the power to the lights, its the other two wires i can`t figure out

Sorry if the solution is really simple, but i can;t figure it out and i am far from being an expert when it comes to vehicle electronics!
Thanks in advance

Put a meter across the other two connectors and when you get a positive reading, you'll know which is pos and neg.
