I got my HID kit in the mail today and got everything hooked up, except my ground wire. Any suggestions for someplace easy to access on the passenger side?

If you haven't you can reground or redo the ground down below the battery, and also have your HID kit wire there.
Clean off the paint on the metal, and have at it.
I sanded, then sprayed the area after tightening down the bolt.
Notladstyle says to get another type of bolt, but that is up to you.

Thats what I was thinking, but its kind of hard to get at, which is why I haven't upgraded that wire/ground point yet. I guess its one more reason to go through the effort.

Not that hard. Just move the fuse box out of the way. Might get a few scratches, but it isn't bad at all. Plus you'll be helping out the rest of the grounding system.

Success! But it was just as hard as I thought it would be.  Lights are awesome now. I can't believe that wire was attached to the chassis with no regard for the paint whatsoever...  I'm sure my connection is at least 10x better now.
