Best spot to ground indiglo gauges?

I'm about to install my reverse indiglo gauges and was wondering where's the best spot to ground the gauges? I know the DIY says to ground them to the screw at the bottom of the cluster, but I was wondering if I could just ground them to the black wire on the factory cluster harness? Any info would be helpful. Thanks

Thats were I have mine...on the screw....but when it gets cold, it breaks the ground....so I'm moving it [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]....its funny actually, car warms up, I touch where it grounds, it lights up [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]! If its cold, no matter how much banging on do on the spot, it wont light up [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]. The plastic has to be warm.

Just ground it to the black wire in the wire harness, get soem wire taps from radio shock and it will work fine...

Thanks for the responses. The black wire on the wiring harness does seem like a better spot to gound the wire. Thanks
