I was in the process of replacing the broken lights when i noticed that the wires feeding it are white and the other white and green.
The new ones have just a red and black wire.
Which colours do i connect together correctly?
Regards

White is negative, connect to black.

If it is a tungsten or halogen bulb it makes no difference. If LED, if wired wrong it will not work. Just revere the wires. No harm done.

You're sort of correct ......... maybe. In UK black is the standard colour for negative on a (non-grounded) DC system. It's also one of the live conductors on a 415v three phase installation. Prior to 2004 it was the neutral on AC circuits (still commonly found in older houses). It's rarely safe to assume the voltage of a conductor based on it's colour.

The negative on my caravan (2016 Lunar Venus) is white and orange, except for the battery to the first connector and battery to motor mover control panel where it's black. I have no idea what standard (if any) caravans are built to.
