Continuity between two pins will at least tell you how to complete the circuit. It probable won't be 0 ohms but it should read something other than infinite. Then you can match the pin to the socket and test wiring that way to find a ground and positive.
The only way I know that green is ground on the headlight (or at least I'm pretty sure it's ground) is that there's a green wire coming from the main bulb and a green wire coming from the smaller parking bulb that are spliced together to make one green wire at the connection end.

Of course, it could easily be a power wire to both bulbs, but the parking bulb only has a green and a brown wire, and I'm guessing that the brown is the parking bulb's power wire.
