Default aftermarket driving light problem

I had a pair of hella 500's on my truck, got hit and bent my grille guard, i took off the grille guard and lights but now want more light. All of my wiring is still in place and works so i went out and bought a pair of hella work lamps.

Here is my problem the old connection for the 500's was 2 wires (yellow and white) , the new hella work lamps only have one red wire coming out of the housing. how do i hook this up??

thanks

jinx do you have pics or a link to these lights? Your new lights may be grounded through the housings.

Sounds like it is ground3ed through the housing like what Eddie says. Yoou can check real quick by just touching the wire to the battery, and ground it.
