You might remove the bulbs and measure from a ground source (chassis) to each one of the ground studs to try and determine if one is causing the problem. My studs were loose as well but since they are mounted in fiberglass there must be a wired connection or ground plane on the other end of the stud. They tightened up once the nut was tighted down so you probably want to do your measurements with the nut tightened down. I know my lamp assemblies were in a pretty sorry state so I was glad that installing the new ones eliminated all my problems. If they had not I would be in the same situation you find yourself in. I would concentrate on trying to find the source of the faulty ground (or power connection) if at all possible. Maybe that will give you a clue on how to proceed.
