Exclamation Help install!

Hi, I am installing a V1 and I am using the Cig. Lighter wire as a power source. But I would like to know what/how does a "ground point/screw" looks like? i saw 2 half an inch golden color screws. I was wondering if those were it? Thank you very much!! Any input is greatly appreciated

Any screw connection on the metal chasis of the car is a ground point.

All ground points are fastened with a 10mm nut, with could be body color if they are under the hood or exposed area, and there will be many groups of brown wires attched.

I havent had too many of these cars apart yet, but why dont you just use the power and ground off the back of the cigar lighter in the first place?
