neon hook ups

im about to wire a neon to my trunk light. It has 2 wires... a black one and a black one with a white stripe. The trunk light has 2 wires also a red one and a white one. so am i correct in the assumption that...

Black Neon Wire and White Trunk Wire are negative?

Black+White Neon Wire and Red Trunk Wire are positive?

pull out your trusty test light (go to autzome and buy one for 5 bucks if you dont have one....it looks like a icepick with a little bulb in the handle and a wire sticking out its ass) clip the wire to any bare ground (its a ground wire) and stick the ice pick end in either of the wires, on the brake light and neon and whatever lights up is positive
