how do you ground them when you mount them

they are grounded thru the lamp mounting bolt... if not mounted to a solid metal part of the vehicle, you must run a ground wire (attached to the mounting bolt using a wire lug) to a metal part of the vehicle. Pete

Their base grounds them. So when you bolt them down, be sure they contact some bare metal.

A lot of it depends on where you want to put them and how you want them to run I install them in my brothers vehicle and I have them set up to where they cannot come on unless the is vehicles on but it's fairly simple you hook the constant to a constant power source such as your battery or a fuse that stays on constantly the switch needs to be hooked to something that you can control either by flipping a switch on or turning your key on such as the fuse to your radioand the ground needs to be hooked to a clean non painted metal surface I used the mounting brackets for the dashboard hope this helps any questions just ask A lot of it depends on where you want to put them and how you want them to run I install them in my brothers vehicle and I have them set up to where they cannot come on unless the is vehicles on but it's fairly simple you hook the constant to a constant power source such as your battery or a fuse that stays on constantly the switch needs to be hooked to something that you can control either by flipping a switch on or turning your key on such as the fuse to your radioand the ground needs to be hooked to a clean non painted metal surface I used the mounting brackets for the dashboard hope... » Read More A lot of it depends on where you want to put them and how you want them to run I install them in my brothers vehicle and I have them set up to where they cannot come on unless the is vehicles on but it's fairly simple you hook the constant to a constant power source such as your battery or a fuse that stays on constantly the switch needs to be hooked to something that you can control either by flipping a switch on or turning your key on such as the fuse to your radioand the ground needs to be hooked to a clean non painted metal surface I used the mounting brackets for the dashboard hope this helps any questions just ask « Show Less

I haven't purchased this yet, but if there is no ground wire connection on the unit, then you just connect the ground wires from the incoming cable and outgoing cable together in a plastic box. If you do use a metal box, then you should run a pigtail ground wire to a grounding screw in the box to ground the box, but it would be easier to just stick with a plastic box so you don't have to worry about grounding the box.

You don't ground the fuse block. Power flows through fuse block to thing being powered like lights or GPS or whatever. From there it goes to ground or via a switch to ground depending on how you wire it.

You wire them to a toggle switch. Which will carry the constant and the ground that you can toggle on or off.

Hook up your hot wire to your battery and your ground to metal. It will require a lot of wire for vehicle use. They are very bright though

A ground wire can easily be connected to one of the screws on the side of the unit. That's how I installed mine and got great results.

they come with a mount that should work fine. If you want it flat you can get a bolt that matches and mount it that way.

The M250 don't have a grounding clamp on them like the m215 but I used the WEEB when I mounted the m250 to the rails just for extra safety.

It's grounded through the bracket also. Use the ground wire also for added security to make sure it has a really good ground

Make sure you have a really good ground . the unit is made of plastic so you have to use a ground wire to a spot on the frame of the car.

There is a way to ground it, but you must do it through a separate amp. Hope this helps!

You can ground it easily with a u-clamp, some 16 gage aluminum wire and a grounding rod (available at Radio Shack) but I just mounted mine to a rafter in the attic. It gets just as good reception and it's out of the wind and rain so it will last much longer.

I taped mine together end to end for awhile until I had time to mount them and it worked fine. They do have to be plugged in.

Yes you do. Here is what the instruction manual says about putting it up: Measure distances between posts and markground accordingly. Dig holes 12" deepaccording to measurements and basic layout(figure 2). Fill with cement and place 16" steelL-channel ground anchors in wet cement. Besure that ground anchors are straight and inaccordance with measurements of arbor posts.Allow cement to dry. NOTE: There is very littleroom for error with this installation method.Slide arbor over ground anchors. Using two 1"self-tapping white-head screws per post screwpost to ground anchor (figure 1). Whenfastening, use one screw per side whereground anchor meets post. For added supportfasten screws with at least two inches verticallybetween them. Yes you do.

I think you could wire it either way. To check just wire them up on the ground. I am still installing mine
