Question:
The led light I bought only has one black wire how do I ground it? Im using it for an extra running light

Expert Reply:
If a light has just 1 wire that means that it grounds through its mounting hardware. Be sure to use steel hardware and mount the light to a clean and corrosion free bare metal surface. If there isn't a steel surface where you want to mount the light you can place a ring terminal with attached wire between the hardware and mounting surface and attach the other end of the wire to a steel surface.
