I am installing recessed LED lights wired in series. My question is, the last light in the series will not have a ground to connect to...what is the solution?
 
First light connects to the +ve on the LED driver. The last light connects to the -ve.
Hopefully you know that, if you connect the lights in series, you will need an appropriate
CONSTANT CURRENT
LED Driver.
 
Why on earth would you wire them in series? If one fails they all go out, and trying to find which one failed is time consuming.
Wire them in parallel as standard practice.

It depends on the LEDs. Some are wired in series, some in parallel.
