Default Where to ground HID relay harness??

Wondering if anyone knows of some factory grounding bolts for HID relay harness? I would rather not drill any holes in my truck.

But you should have 2 ground wires. 1 for each ballast/side and 1 battery positive.

Did you have to sand any paint for contact? Or just un bolt and re bolt?

There is a ground on the drivers side just underneath the headlight like just above where the lower part of the bumper. It is very easy to see once your head light is out on the driver side. It is hard to get to so just loosen enough to put the fork in and tighten it down. There is a heavy ground already there. Then just ground passenger side to the battery
