Default Headlight Wiring Confusion

I have a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 and recently bought new headlights for it. My OEM headlights were a sport model (2 bulbs) and the new set I bought has just 1 bulb.


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1


I'm confused about how to hook the red wire and black wire from the headlight to the wiring harness to get the bottom LED strip to work. My wiring harness has 3 wires (purple, purple with white stripe, and red with orange stripe). I heard something about the wiring on these trucks can be a little mixed up...? Can someone specifically explain where I need to connect the red and black wires from my headlights?

Start by downloading a manual in the DIY section. Wiring is in 8W.
