I am trying to wire up some LEDs in the front floor board under the dash. I jave no problem running the positive wire to a fuse, but I am not sure where to run the ground. Any suggestions on where to connect the wires...and make it look nice. I want the lights to come on when the key is on..for now...

any bolt or screw or nut that's into sheetmetal on the frame of the car. as in, the big metal tube thats under the dash or any metal piece bolted/welded to it. you can run a wire to the seat frame. you can tap into any ground already there (radio or switches or whatever) bolts holding the steering column...

easiest and not recommended but what happens in car installer shops....put a screw through the floor pan. i dont not suggest this as you now have unprotected metal and it will rust.

just find a bolt or nut to unscrew and stick an end thingy on the wire, put it on the nut/bolt and tighten.

Okay thats what I was thinking...So to set the lights to come on with the ingnition, I need to just tap into the accessory fuse right?
