[QUOTE="kidfavre4, post: 438215, member: 20960"] Hello fellow Jeepers. I've browsed the forums/youtube but can't get a concrete answer on how to properly ground aftermarket LED tail lights. 1995 YJ w/ 4.0 and AX-15 manual tranny. I understand the OEM lights grounded to the body via the mounting bolts, and figure it's probably as simple as crimping on a ring terminal on the aftermarket ground wire and either putting it on the inside casing around the mounting bolt, or adding a nut to the back side and putting the ring terminal there, but want to get confirmation on what the best route is here. Additionally, I've been running into some power feedback issues that are partially related to my increased interest in doing this correctly (dash lights flash when using turn signal,yj intermittent issue but more often than not lately), so I did remove and repair some hacky splicing from PO that tapped into my reverse lights and ran to the front of the vehicle to an unclipped harness just between the grill and AC condenser (assuming trail related back up lights added to front or some idea that powering a winch in reverse would be good) but with that wiring eliminated from the tail lights I still have the feedback into the dash lights and a voltage drop when in reverse. Sorry if this should be two posts but figured I'd probably get a reply from the same field of experts with these two issues. [/QUOTE]
