Default Best ground inside 98 XJ

Looking to wire up a switch on my KC lights. Wire that they give me for the ground is only about 14" long. If I mount the switch on either side of my steering wheel where is the closest ground that will work for me?

I would assume there is one near the fuse panel on the driver side under the dash?

any need to use a file and scrape paint off? Or is the black finish typically a "bare finish" like what you see on the inside of the engine bay etc.
