Default Need help finding the ground for drivers side headlight

Like the topic says folks, i can't find my drivers side headlight ground for my 77. The bulbs are exceptionally dim on that side and i'd like to correct that!!

Thanks,
Chad

Pictures would be very appreciated, I'm a visual learner...

I believe if you open the hood you can see the core support. The ground wire is a black 12 ga with a lug attached to the lower right corner (looking at it from the front). There is also an additional ground wire attached to the surround support metal under the hood surround.

Are you still running the original incandescent bulbs? Sometimes they get really dim as they age.
