Coupe Engine Ground Points

Hey guys,

Ive been searching but cant seem to find any good pics or info on ground locations under the hood, preferably on the drivers side. I am attempting to install my HID fogs and am looking for a grounding point.

I read that the coupe fenders are plastic hence they wont work as ground points. I had installed my fog lights, but they wouldnt turn on, I believe bc I had a bad ground. I have found the + battery tap locations on the passenger side firewall with the red caps but think perhaps the ground point was bad.

Any ideas of a good grounding point location?? Again, I read that e90 fenders are steel so they will work, but the e92s fenders are plastic.

I need a good ground location for the e92 under the hood!!! Please post pics if you got them!!

This post shows the pos/neg jumper points under the hood. Perhaps you could ground to where the negative terminal shown here attaches.
