Good Earth

Hey Good Folks,
Hopefully an easy one;
Tomorrow (weather permitting) I'm going to run a couple of 30A cables from the starter battery to power my headlights via relays.
My question is - is there a good earth point in the engine bay, preferably on the nearside as that is where the relays are going..??

Cheers all,

If you're running lives, run earths from the battery at the same time much the same work, a little extra cost and best performance guaranteed

I fitted a copper stud to the ns inner wing bracket and ran a 10mm^2 earth lead from it back to the battery neg terminal, so I have a rock solid accessible earth point in the engine bay.
