I have original marker lites front/rear from my 1969 270, I found a complete set new a few years ago and will dig them up if needed.

\nUnder which screw exactly? The two screws that hold the assembly to the exterior ? was it both screws that had the stripped wire underneath?\nOr are you talking about some other screw?\nTks\nBruce

You just want to run the ground wire to any screw that will connect it to the metal part of the light bulb base. The idea is to complete the electric circuit.

I just thought if you actually saw the stripped ground wire under there that you could indicate which screw exactly it was in contact with because that one will have a better chance of maintaining the circuit as the metal is in poor shape and the closer the better\nthanks \nBruce\nsorry about that
