Frank, the ground for the headlight is under the hood bumper, and you 
have a hole, with a washer, and eventually rust at the hole.  Get the 
message. 

For all the bad press Lucas gets, most of the problems are with the 
grounds, as is true in most cars.  The new computer cars, are really 
sensitive, and most mechanics have a real problem tracking down good 
connections and good grounds. 

On the Tiger/Alpine just bypass this in the beginning and make a really 
good and permanent ground for everything.
