Default Need to find Headlight grounds

Hey guys, my headlights are both pretty dim, so I was thinking that I would just dive in and clean off the ground wires to see if that helped. I am getting good voltage in the fuses and connectors and recently put new bulbs in. The problem is, I am incompetent when it comes to reading wiring diagrams, so I am having trouble tracking down just where those grounds are. Any relevant diagram with ample explanation would be more than welcome-- Also, my Accord is a 4 dr if that matters.

Thanks for the picture. So it looks like I will have to remove the bumper to get to it. Does that sound right? Also, where did you snag this picture from? Was it in one of the service manuals? I looked for a few hours in one I got for something like this and came up empty.

I don't think the bumper comes off....but that blasted plastic under tray is going to have to come off....again a guess, as I have never personally "touched" that ground (G201=right/pass and G301=left/drivers).

Yes, I have the service manual for that car. If you are going to do any kind of work on the car, I'd suggest you get a service manual for the car......."automanualsource" dot com has a pretty good one. ~$22 for a download, the file is big so I hope you have a good internet, or ~$27 for a CD shipped.

What part of NC are you in?

Ok, so your are just a little south/west of me. I'm just north of wake forest in Franklin county.

If you can, take some pic's along the way and post them......it helps the next person.
