i need to find a good ground point for some lights... near the rear of a ford explorer...since thats where the brain of the siren controller is...and i want to add a led to my rear window....

I haven't done an instal on an explorer, however a good ground point in my own guess would be near the LED Head, right into the frame. This isn't going to require a very large gauge wire, so a small self tapping screw and some smaller wire should to the trick.

I currently have 2 LED heads in the back window of my car, the ground points for them are in the sheet metal that surrounds the rear hatch. Works like a charm.

in my truck, I used the rear seat mount bolts to ground the equipment that i have in the back of the truck - 2 strobe power supplies, 110w ASpectra, and S9K siren unit. Works like a charm. I try not to make more holes than nesecary.
