Just got our lamps all in over this last week and found that out...the hard way.

Thanks for the advice. I'm already in the process of adding grounds to all of the tail light sockets. I'm not a fan of how they ground in the first place. Then add in that every square inch of my trunk now has several coats of spatter paint along with clear and my tail light housings are powder coated, will make for a bad ground for sure.
The tail light sockets have a small hole that I can fit a wire down and solder to the grounding clip.
