After many years disassembled I am finally getting my truck back together. I started to reassmble my rechromed headlights and I think there was a copper grounding strip for the relecter to the bucket.
There is a small hole that could be for a rivet. I think the shop removed it when they did the chromeing.
Do I need it?
Thanks in advance , Mike.

So I would think that you bulb has two contacts on the base, correct? The third connection is ground through the body of the bulb. That has to be connected to the body ground or sheet metal somehow.

I went back out to the shop and found that the reflecter makes contact in the bottom of the fit of the bucket that it fits into. So I imagine it makes contact through the sheet metal this way. Thanks , Mike.
