Footwell lighting

Having looked at the two "how to" guides on here I am confused as to the best way to wire them up. Im a complete novice when it comes to car electrics etc. The one guide I have seen suggests taking a single wire feed from the roof courtesy light and running it down to the foot well then the other wire (coming off the bulb holder in the footwell) should be earthed, I always thought to complete a circuit you needed a positive and negative?

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.
