There is no polarity on a MH lamp so it does not matter. The socket usually has a black and white wire. Connect the black to either the blue or yellow and the white to the other.

Adding a ground wire to the reflectors would be a good idea, but you don't have to. Just make sure you run the power cords from the ballasts to gfci receptacles or gfci power strip.
