Default Nology Engine Ground Strap install on honda civic ex coupe 97

I just got a Nology Engine Ground-strap and I think I know where it goes, but the weird thing is I only see a place for 2 connections, not three as the piece looks (see below picture.) I think it goes in the front right of the engine bay, by the driver's side headlight.. I see what looks like a ground strap for the engine there, but I'm not sure. Can someone help me with this??


I also looked around and there's another potential place for it to go, here (see below pic):

I would think it would go on the negative battery terminal, guess not. BTW what would that help?

nah, its a connector to the engine from the chassis of the vehicle. The honda ground strap sucks ***, and this one helps a lot by replacing it

Um.. There's a stock/OEM ground strap located behind the valve cover.. It's bolted on some piece of the engine, and the other end is bolted over by the headlight area of the driver's side. I just bolted it there. (the factory ground strap was black and worn out and crappy looking, my nology is beautiful!

You would be surprised what a shitty ground can do to a car.

rust or corrosing build-up maybe??

mines been taken off so many times that the connectors are falling apart. so i just went to the hardware store and spend 3 bucks and got a new one.

The wires were blackened and there was some rust on the connnectors, etc..

I know there isn't really many performance benefits, just eye-candy appeal to adding this to the engine bay area
