85 GT. Got an NSL Performance taillight LED kit, and for the included flasher unit there's a ground wire. My question is, where could I ground it? The wire is a bit short but I know I could extend it, but I'm not super positive as to where I can ground it under the steering. There's a couple spots I could maybe drill a hole, not sure if they're right and not sure if there's an existing screw I can tighten the fork under.

God forbid, I could just add an extension and use electrical tape to latch it onto something. There's a lot of plastic under here though, not a lot of metal. Wondering what my options could be.

Thanks

The studs for the steering column should do the trick. Might have to cut off that spade and crimp on a larger one.



Also, please tell me you're going to remove that red rubber nub from the courtesy lamp on the fusebox. That's gonna melt.

I was going to suggest this too... Just didn't feel like editing a photo

Picture can be worth a kiloword, easier than saying "the nut on the stud in the upper right sort of center of the screen" =))

Ah okay, I did think about it but wasnt sure if that spot was grounded. I have more forks so cool, thanks man. I'll put it there.

Also yah, the light is from the previous owner, it doesn't actually seem to be paint, and it's not a rubber nub. Some kind of coating. I knew it glowed red down below but this was the first time I noticed that they coated the bulb. He painted red over the one of the interior lights too for some reason, lol.

It's WAS a cover, now it's melted to be a part of the bulb

Presumably wanted pimpy colored interior lights. Were it me, I'd replace it with a regular 194 bulb, which is the same size but less power (= cooler) than a 168.

Ah, probably past worrying about then until I get to the interior at large. Admittedly it has a nice outrun vibe, but it won't stay.

Sssesssssssssssssssssiit
