Hey guys, im hiding my wires in the fenders, got almost all the way done and realized i may have forgotten to ground a wire. its the wire by your headlights (close to hood adjustment bumper). There is one on each side of engine compartment. What does it go to? Lights??

When I hid my wires, I just ran that around though the back of the headlights and grounded it in the same place. Looks cleaner, and I don't mind seeing it there.

I can't see any reason to cut and extend the ground wire, as long as the harness and ground wire are both in the fenders just attach the ground to some body part, I used the brace for the fender that way you have no screw head or thread showing. Just my $.02
