[QUOTE="BassBlaster, post: 135933, member: 2865"] The kit is gonna be designed to ground directly to the trailer. There will be a short white wire that gets wired to the trailer via a self tapper and the lights will ground through the mounting studs or some actually have a seperate ground wire to attach to the trailer. My LED's had a ground wire at each light, I dunno if all LED's do, this was my first time wiring LED's. I decided based on a suggestion from a member here to run a ground wire to each light rather than ground it through the trailer. You will have to purchace additional wire for that but I think its well worth the extra effort cause everyone has ground problems eventually. Hopefully this eliminates any for me in the future. I ran a single ground wire from the white wire in front down the tounge then split it to run to each tail light and ran jumpers from the split wires to the side markers if any of that makes since. Basically I didnt wanna run 4 ground wires but I wound up with several connection points so I just used the proper connectors then sealed all of them with shrink tubing. [/QUOTE]
