How does it do that when its mounted in plastic? The oval hole in the frame is quite big...the light housing never touches metal...in a 68 - 69 car its in the metal frame but in 1970??

I agree there is a short ground wire for 70! 70 Road Runner 383-4 4 speed FJ5 & black guts 70 Charger R/T 440-4 4 speed FJ5 & white guts

On the metal socket that pushes into the light housing just solder a piece of wire to the housing that is long enough to reach the metal dash frame and solder a ring end on it and you should be good to go. 68 Charger R/T 440 auto
