I was moving them around and the little cover fell, exposing the wires. Not a big deal right I can put it back on bit wait.. now I dont know which one is positive and which one is negative. Any help on how I can tell them apart.
 
Solution
Wouldnt this damage the rig in some way? I always read that if u connect the wrong wires that it might cause some damage
If you connect HDD led wires wrong, led just doesn't work.
It doesn't damage anything.

This not applicable to any other wires though.
If you connect cables coming from PSU wrong, then you'll certainly cause short or fry something.
