Where to ground roof lights

[krashnburn049]

I attatched two aux lights to my roofrack and i want to know the best place to ground the two lights. I was also wondering if i could connect the two ground wires from the lights so that i only need to ground one wire from the roof...thanks alot guys

connect the two together,,,yes you can, and than you can run 1 wire back down inside the door frame to any nut or bolt you can find , i replaced a rivet in the one door opening, can't remember what it was for, but it made a good ground,
if there isn't anything, you could just drill a hole, and put a screw or rivet to use as a ground,

corkey's method will work but if you want the best perfromance from your lights run the wire back to the battery or a terminal strip near the battery and then to the battery's negative terminal.
Use the same gauge wire for the ground as the power wire going to the lights.

Not knowing the wattage of the lights you should use min a 12 gauge wire to and from the lights and don't forget the relay, solder all of your connections and use heat shrink with adhesive in it to seal all of the connection.

Luck,
