Default ground for relay

hey, so as of this moment, I'm installing my HIDs.

I can't decide where to hook up the ground for relay.

The diagram says body ground, but I don't know the specific place to ground it.

it needs to be somewhere that there is already a screw, so I can screw it in and keep in place.


here's a diagram


any help is appreciated.

If you buy a Bi Xenon kit it requires power from the battery and dedicated ground...perhaps there was a deal on Bi- Xenon kits haha

Just make sure you are grounding to bare metal (no paint).

Underneath the air intake box, there is a ground wire going to the engine where i hooked up some ballasts. tucked nicely out of the way and hidden.

upper left hand side of the pick, its the wire that is clipping into the wheel well, just hook into there and you are straight for ground. theres ground wires everywhere, just got to find them and trace them to the chassis
