Later cars probably have a lot more than the early cars. I think you'll get the info you need by adding a little more info about your car to your query.

Hey. Im new top tis forum, but just thought id try and help...

You have an earth point in the engine bay on the drivers side. This is easyish to get to, but rusts up well easy, so u get problems with your lights...etc fi you dont keep it clean. There is also an earth point ion the boot i think.

That would be the engine ground strap. There are also earth points all over the car for every electrical component you can name. It's the list of electrical components and their grounds that would be too long to get into without more info.
