Wiring Dimarzio ultra jazz in parallel

Ok so I have a Dimarzio ultra jazz pickup in my p/j bass, as most people will know this pickup is a split coil humbucker and the wiring that most people use and the wiring that Dimarzio provides instructions for is for both coils of the pickup in series with each other.

I have been favouring a really bright tone recently and would like to try this pickup with the 2 coils of the pickup in parallel, I know that this means 2 wires go to hot and 2 to ground but I am not sure which 2 wires go to hot and which to ground.

Has anybody here wired this pickup with the coils in parallel? If so can you help? Thanks
