Default !ground wires questions

I relocated all the ground wires on the drivers side to the lower bolt on the frame rail, but where can I go with the headlight and battery ground strap? do I have to drill my own?

Thanks

I'd just drill your own hole a little bit below the fender out of plain view.

I can't remember exactly where I re-ground mine too but I didn't drill holes. I will be working on it some today, so I will try to snap a pic or two of what I ended up doing with mine.

I tried to take pics today, but I couldn't get any good lighting in my garage today and there is 6 inches of ice on the ground right now, so its not coming out. I will get pics ASAP if no one else jumps in here with them though.

For the driver's side, I took out the post that is on top of the shock tower, and moved it to where the ground for the engine and fan motors(maybe) ground on the inner side of the DS frame rail, right behind the fan shroud. Currently there is just a screw. Then found a nut that fit and put the original 2, plus the ground for the headlights, and the fuse block on that post.

Still have to locate an existing one for the PS tho...
