The other guide suggests tapping into two feeds on the circuit bar in the roof mounted courtesy light and running this down to the footwell lights, but would it still need earthing?

How did everyone else that has done this mod sorted the issue?

If this is in the wrong section apologies.
The earth is the negative, it runs through the body back towards the negative terminal on the battery.
