Good ground point under drivers kick panel

Hello folks!

I'm at the end of wiring hella driving lights on the v70xc. I'm looking for a good ground for the switch just under the dash. I'm using a factory switch with the hella wiring.

The issue is the hella wiring insists on grounding the switch to make everything work. The provided ground wire is rather short. I can not for the life of me find anywhere near the light switches to ground the wire. I'm willing to add a new length of wire if I must to reach the metal brace under the dash.

Thanks in advance!

Maybe one of the bolts holding the hood release bracket? Watch out for painted surfaces which won’t conduct, and don’t foul the handle with wire

Thanks for the reply!
Sorry if I wasn't clear. I have the relay grounded in the engine bay, at the the ground on the strut tower, and the negative terminal.

What I'm looking for is a ground inside the passenger compartment under the driver's side dash with which to ground the switch to the relay.

Thanks
