led lights
Just got a pair if leds taillight replacement and noticed they are 3 wire. Only two wires are on truck. I am assuming one of the three is to be used as a ground(Probably the black). I am eliminating the socket connection and hard wiring them. Planning on attaching ground wire to bed. Am i thinking right?

Re: led lights
Yes LED's must have a good ground. Also make sure you have the bed properly grounded to the frame, should be a ground strap on the passenger side rear, behind the wheel, if memory serves
