New lights have a single white wire, the old ones have a white and brown.
This is a 75 2.0 with appearance group. Model numbers are same on each light. Does the new one just ground to frame bumper at the mount? These new lights have never been mounted. Attached thumbnail(s)

That would be my guess. Just jump it on your bench top. A 9 v battery would work.

The dual wire requires a ground (brown wire) the single wire is grounded through the mounting bolt.
