Trying to install LEDs on a Lionel 6-8665 GP9 engine. There is no ground wire, only the bracket holding the bulb. Looking for the best place to solder the ground to. On the socket itself, or the clip that holds the socket to the frame bracket?

Either place is fine, it just has to connect to the locomotive frame.
You cannot just remove the light bulb and replace with a LED. The LED is
DC and requires a current limit resistor.
If you want a LED, then get a LED bulb that will screw in or have a base for your socket.
There is another forum with a link to a seller of LED bulbs.
