Yes the ground is provided by the mounting bolts in 68. In 69 VW 
separate brown ground wires, but your car will not have these. I 
believe you are right, you don't have a good ground, probably to the 
left front TS housing. The TS current is finding its way back to 
ground via the parking light filament, which also feeds all the other 
parking lights. One usually can't see this because the current is 
shared by 5 bulbs (license light bulb, too) so you may have an 
extra bright bulb installed there. It's probably not a good idea to go 
to brighter bulbs as they will generate more heat than the 
assembly was made to accomodate.
