Hello...

I have used the search function, and learned a lot...like how to get through the firewall, and many other things.

My question is this. I need to ground 1 wire from the on/off switch, and 1 wire from each light. Would it work ok for me to ground them under the hood, where the negative battery terminal cable grounds (there is a nut with a green dot on it to the right of the battery on the frame, where a wire runs from the it to the negative cable)?

Yes.

You could also just ground each item separately. Any metal that is connected to the chassis will be ground. I would find a bolt in each location that could be used. I'm under the impression that ground wires should be as short as possible.

Keep them as short as you can. There is no such thing as too much ground. So ground each one separately if you wish.
