hook it to something that's bolted to the body. most of the exposed metal pieces under the dash are grounded. for my DRL disable, I used one of the bolts on the OBD-II port, or you can use one of the larger bolts that hold the steering column up.

a ground is anything connected to the negative terminal of the cars bettery

a ground will complete the electrical circuit. giving the current somewhere to flow through

notice that the negative terminal on the battery has a short wire connected to a metal hunk on the body of ur engine bay

that makes any other piece of bare metal on your cars body or frame connected to the negative terminal of your battery

so in short just find some bare metal and connect the wire to that with a ring terminal and a bolt or something

now this does not work with the positive side of the battery.. you have to wire that side directly to the positive terminal on the battery or a distrubition block (the positive side must always be fused!)

Thanks guys. I got the pedals hooked up and they look really good. Hopefully I can get some pictures up soon.
