Who knows what the two earth wires that go into a little eye screw type thing near the heater box etc are for. Indicators/front lights or something?

Well when I bought my shell 3 years ago i dont know what the wring was like as it had no battery or engine for that matter. Since then I have put the engine in and a battery and the new computer, and the first time we did an electrics check, everything I did was fine in terms of the computer and some rewiring of a few things, but when the headlights are turned on, both indicators com on and stay on (ie dont flash), and when the indicators are turned on they flash but both do.
Now I had moved this wire but never reearthed it as i forgot. I redid it but nothing changed. Im thinking it hopefully is to do with the fact the only lights i have in the front are the headlights at the moment. We'll see i guess.
