hi

I want to replace my existing baseboard heater thermostat. I have new
one (Honeywell RLV 450) but it only has two wires for connections and
the old one has 4 wire hookup. What wires are used (there are two red
and two black wires)?

If you have to ask perhaps you need to hire an electrician. Not
something you need to be messing with.

Is this a 240VAC baseboard? sounds like you might have got a
thermostat for 120VAC that only breaks one leg of the wiring. Not
sure if it's code compliant to do that with 240VAC or not but I'm
pretty sure that remembering back to messing with my parents' house,
the thermostats in each room were double pole.

Do ya' think maybe it's a good idea for starters to at least buy the right
class of thermostat--- instead of trying to force-fit the wrong one? Your
first clue is the number of connectors is wrong...
