USE A DMM.

DMM is digital multimeter. A tool that is a MUST to have by your side when installing.

White is switched ground (-) and orange is your positive.

To be sure, set DMM to DC volts, put black test lead on the white wire and red test lead on the orange wire. Easiest spot to test is at a bulb holder that you can backprobe, with interior lights on, you should have a 12V reading. If the orange was (-) and white was positive, the DMM would show -12V.
