Damn, your grounding looks neat!! Hahaha, woah doing strobe light arh?? Thanx..looks cool exposed like dat..my previous grounding all hidden until I oso dunno where... ..Still need to tidy up the cables with a cable tie technique tat acts as a neat cable separator using big and small cable ties....I learnt it frm a car mag..quite useful.. ..Anyway, I grounded 5 points..some repeat..alternator, TB, fuel rail, engine block and extractor.. As for strobe lights, using those not meant for car type..my bro fixed on his Avante..flashes when in reverse gear..quite cool..like aeroplane beacon lights..good warning for pple behind oso.. ;D Yo dude, can explain more on the phrase I hi-lighted??? Having said that, I just got another idea... Something like the rear blinking light of an F1 car.. But requires some hole cutting at the rear bumper... Something like so, Opps.. Sorry.. From grounding went to lighting...

From grounding went to lighting... Me & bro oso toyed ard wif tat idea..but I decide not to go ahead wif tat coz too distracting to others..the light very bright..like camera flashes.. ...Wat I intend to do is only for it to activate while in reverse gear..tap to reverse sensor.. OK, abt the phrase u highlighted, it's actually those meant for building usage..to guide pple to staircase in case of fire kind..warn pple etc...not auto accessory..So need to do some waterproofing to the casing, add fuse and mount behind the rear bumper..

That is considered loop grounding... Much better than normal points grounding... BTW, strobed reverse light?? This was my final year project but can be activated during bad weather for improve visibilty by other drivers... But left the product in school... Perhaps scrapped by now... So how does grounding all metal parts help? Enlightenment?

Stray current earthed at different points.. Especially where the metal parts have elect. components attached like sensors and actuators..
