Just add one more wire and connect it from the inner fender to the
bulb base proper to ensure a good ground . there are re-pop 4 wire
terminal strips that'll work just fine .
I always add additional grounding wires from the front end sheet
metal to the frame and another between the engine and body to ensure
the gen./alt. return path is good , this ensures super bright
lights , even on 6 volt vehicles .
