i think he wants to put lights in the center piece. I could be wrong though.

that mod is for the stock center piece... i dunno how well that's gonna work with a CF one. what you're doing is taking off some've the backing on the stock one so it will allow some light to shine through. if you can do this to a CF one without screwing up how it looks without the lights on then i guess it would be ok. i guess you'd need to use red lights too b/c you don't have the red outer plastic like the stock one...

it isnt to hard at all

buy

2 194 sockets ... make sure they arent too big .. look for the smallest size socket



you are going to have to drill

2 holes in the frame of the car directly behind the lens itself ( so the wiring reaches with ease and the sockets fit )

2 holes in the center piece directly behind the lens (make sure to clean out the shavings )

splice the running light wire only to the 194 sockets and your in buisness

you dont have enough room in there to run a dual filament bulb. any bigger than a 194 will melt the reflector !~~! trust me ( i melted my first set ) there is a way to make the 194 a blinker and running light but it wont be insync !!~~!! lol with the regular blinkers
