Buy a cheap Ohm meter .. Hardware store, Radio Shack, Home Depot.   Check
the resistance of the Ohm meter wiring itself .. Touch test leads together.
Then test from you light bulb connector to the engine block or battery .. It
should only be about .01 ohm more or you need to improve the ground.  Not
sure about 69 running light, but many Alfa lamps run the ground wire from
the bulb to just one of the screws holding the lamp housing to the body
..... change this to a wire from the head lamp bulb to a rust free spot the
body using a dedicated ground screw ... you can run all the ground wire from
all the lights to this screw.  Also don't use just the bare wire wrapped
around that screw ... use a proper hoop connection crimped onto the wire (by
the way if the only hoops you can find are "insulated" . pull off the
plastic insulator and throw away .. You can't get a decent crimp with the
insulator present .. And you don't need it on a ground wire anyway.)
