Are you sure? I thought the earth was part of the wiring loom.

As part of the loom on your car that goes to the headlight, there will be a wire going to a earth point. If you take the light out you will see it clear as day!!!!

Yes, the hwadlights earth out through the chassis, there is a 10mm bolt that holds the earth wire in place.
