Title: Tail Light ground wire
Post by: n/a on September 25, 2004, 15:03:21

I just installed the tail lights on my '63 230SL and cannot find where the short brown ground wire that comes out of the socket plug should be attached.  I guess I didn't take a photo of this when I removed the tail lights years ago.

Regards, Paul

The right one goes to a nut/screw that is just to the right of the lamp assembly.  There is a little metal tab that sticks out of the seam where the rear quarter panel meets the rear panel.
 For the left side , it is the same place , but to the left of the assembly.
