Unhappy Aftermarket Headlights Wired Opposite

I am a new Jeep owner! Hate the factory headlights so purchased a new set of aftermarket halo headlights and fog lights. The headlights seem to be wired opposite to the function with high-beams on when low-beam switch and low-beam is on when high-beam is switched on. No the lights are not high-end but were not cheap cheap either. Ive been trying to find the wiring harnes diagram so we can switch the wiring in the light harness, can anyone direct me where to find this information please?
Thanks for your help!

I've read of this issue before. Some guys buy a harness adapter that crosses the high & low wires. Some guys use a little pick or screw driver to pry the connectors out of the headlight plug & move the connectors as needed.

The other common issue with some after market lights in having them not physically fit in the existing mounting buckets. I don't mind doing a wiring change like that, but I really don't want to hack into my stock headlight buckets. If your new lights mount with no physical modifications, other than that one wiring change, I'd be interested to learn which ones you got.

I have a service manual for a 2013. It looks like you have a '15. I have to think the wire colors are the same. here is a diagram I have. Hope it helps.

Thank you! This should help.
My son is doing the modification for me! Save him searching.

Totally agree. Pretty sure they will fit in the buckets but the wiring will hopefully be an easy fix.
Thanks for your help
