Have any advice on how to fix this? The plug that held the ground's eye connector doesn't seem to come out, or I'd just easily replace the connector. Can I just ground it to the other socket ground wire, or is that a no-no? Both socket grounds meet together to form one of the three wires in the male connecting plug. Electrical is not my strong point, lol.   |

That ground has to go to the socket body or the light will not work,, the other two wires are the feed in hi and lo beam,,, the green ( ground) is the return leg of the circuit,,, you can strip it back and solder the copper right to the body,,, or drill out the original rivet,, crimp on an eye onto the wire and pop rivet it where the original was( that would be my course of action)

I noticed on my other headlight assembly (I have 2 complete assemblies), that the black ground (black instead of all green like the other one) wire is wrapped around the spring that is inside the socket. Maybe I should try that? It isn't grounded the same as the other socket set. I'd use that assembly but it's connections weren't soldered worth of crap, and pulled out. Plus one light was extremely dim so something was jacked up (probably poor soldering), and that's why I swapped out just the old wires/sockets and put them on the new assembly.  |

Yeah, I wrapped the wire around the spring and it works.
