This came up recently in a conversation about converting to LEDs and the short answer is that ground for one function is through the lead for the other function. A thing you may not have noticed yet: headlights off, the front turn sig and side marker blink in unison. Marker lights on and the turn sig and the marker alternate. The marker will come on when either lead is supplying 12v and will turn off when both leads supply 12v. I haven't tried it but I think if you yank the turn sig and flasher relays, it should kill the front markers. As in: the front markers ground back through the turn sig circuit. edit: dug up the thread, reply #3 explains the wiring https://ramchargercentral.com/vehicle-help/led-side-marker-help/

the fender lights blink alternately with the turn signals in the grill. The marker part of the light does not stay lite, so no need for a bulb with two filaments.

The bulb plugs into the socket. The socket pig tail plugs into the harness where it shares a common ground.

From his initial post I think he was just curious as to how the light worked with no ground circuit. Tim
