I know you have said you have installed grounds BUT ground wires for these trucks are very important being our trucks have a lot of under body rust to them. Try going over the grounds one more time as sometimes we miss things. Good Luck. Others might have more to add hopefully you will get your answer!

If I recall 5 of them for V8. Here's the locations

1 & 2 Fire wall to Valve Covers (6 cyl only One used)
3rd. Front Pass side inner fender (frame to inner lower fender well)
4th. Under pass door about 1/2 way too middle of door
5th. Pass side at rear tire location area

Most are mounted from body panels to frame

Each Light needs to be grounded so look carefully at each lights connections. Being a Electrician I know I can hold any one bare power wire all day long and NOT get shocked, But when you put the ground wire in or hooked up at that point you will get Shocked believe me I know. The ground wire makes a complete circuit.
