[urq] WAG requests- Resolved!

[Bill Bennett]

To each rear bulb holder add a ground to the free male spade, you will need 
two female push on connectors and two eyelet connectors for a 5mm stud and 
two five mm star washers and a foot of 14guage wiring. put the eyelet end at 
one of the lense housing attachment studs with the star washer against the 
body.of couse cut the foot or wire in half, you only need six inches per 
side. the need for the additional ground was pointed out when these were 
sold during the group purchase.
 Bestus to All, Bill
