Thanks Rob,

  I think I will try that first...It is quite difficult to access that
cluster ground below the light switch and behind the fuse panel...I have
also heard it can help the headlight function, though I am happy with the
Hella ones I have in there now.

    I'll just find the ground wire to the bulb plug and splice a big fat
wire in there then drill and tap a huge panel fastener through some frame
or body part nearby...should do it....
