- try these two places:
- all i did was remove the center trim piece with the cigarette lighter and you will notice a black wire hooked to a bolt. that's where they grounded the cd player. just wrapped the wire with that same bolt and thats it
- you can also ground the wire under the bolts under the steering section. just make sure its touching metal

there is a red wire with a black stripe in the blue harness that goes into the left side of the gauge cluster, splice into that and the indiglos will come on everytime the parking or headlights are turned on as they are supposed to. As far as the ground wire, when screwing the cluster back in, wrap the ground wire around one of the screws and screw it in place. the cluster is screwed into the metal chassis, so that will provide a solid ground. I did this same method to my car about 9 months, they have not flickered or had any problems once.

Easy way to find out if they are bad is go touch the wires to the pos/neg on your battery. If you get nothing there, then something is wrong.

I grounded mine in a screw behind the fuse box. I'ts easy to get there and you don't have to remove anything.
