Expert Reply:
In order to make a good ground connection with the Optronics Jeep Style Universal Trailer Stop, Turn, and Tail Light # ST60RB you can install a ring terminal and separate ground wire on one of the mounting posts. You can use ring terminal # DW05705-1 and a length of wire like # 10-1-1 to connect to a metal portion of the trailer frame. Any of the three mounting studs can serve as your ground.
