I just bought a new bow light for my searay. the new one is a seasense 50023882 which has 2 black wires leading to it. The previous bow light has white and black wires leading to it. How do I know which to connect where? I am electrically challenged. Thank you ahead of time for the help!

Is the lamp illuminated with an incandescent light bulb?

If it is not an led light, and it IS just a light bulb, it doesnt matter what wire is power, and wich one is ground.

If it's LED, connect one wire to each. It won't burn up if they're wrong, it just won't light. If it doesn't work, switch them. If it's a standard bulb, doesn't matter.
