LED Tailgate Light Strip Grounding

Anyone got any pictures of where they are grounding the LED light strip that goes above the back bumper under the tailgate

Thanks

Same as above, but I made my own lights...FYI the orange wire with a blue stripe is the positive wire going to the license plate light.

Thanks. I wired the positive to my tail light after removing housing but was looking for a ground close by.
