Headlight ground next to the battery, tranny, head, throttle body, The back firewall, to the other headlight ground. I might add some more wires

notice any difference in the car itself after the install? I have a set of blue ones at home waiting to be put on, just wondering if it was worth it?

i made a DIY grounding kit which looks very familiar. acceleration on lower rpms seems to be a little crisper ... and I can rollup/down more than one window + the sunroof without them slowing down like before ..

looks good, nice job!

If you make your own grounding kit, dont you have to know how long each wire is? Or do you just match the length of the wire to the stock wires. What gauge are you using for all?

Nice, I'll have to try this myself so what are the wires you mentioned, 5 right? I see the passenger headlight one which is connected to the firewall? Another one from the firewall to the tb? Then one from the driver's headlight. What is connected to the ground terminal?

Headlight ground next to the battery, tranny, head, throttle body, The back firewall, to the other headlight ground. I might add some more wires
