Firebird Trans am flip light wire colors and purposes

I was wondering if anyone knew what wires represent what on the headlight motors? I have motors, with bare wires, and bare wires from the harness that are bare, ive found that the white seems to be +12v with headlight switch off, and the black is ground I guess? There is a blue, red (or brown?), and green wire on the headlight motors, and I can't figure out which belongs where. They are 1984 motors, but I have my 82 motors still laying around too. This is the way I got the car and I'de like to wire it up properly, I've gotten the motors to move by experimenting, but I need to know the proper setup. There are 4 wires coming out of the harness, black, white with black strip, and I think red and greeen, and one relay next to the radiator. Does anyone know how this is supposed to wire up? Also does each motor need its own relay? My old motors have one relay mounted to one, but the 84 motors dont have any relays mounted to them but there is a relay behind the radiator support. I am very confused on this subject lol.

Thanks for any help anyone can give. Or at least look at theirs and tell me how its wired up. I've searched and searched and I can't find anything helpful.

hey that looks helpful, I saved it and I will figure it out later, it looks like there are supposed to be 2 relays, assuming the flip light is the "headlight actuator" Thank you!
