Default Just 2.. you shouldn't drill the black plastic. Just get a drill bit thin enough to eat away at the
orange tab. I drilled one hole straight through the orange tab, chipped away at it, and then pulled it loose. You should start being able to feel the orange reflector loosening.

Default you can spray it with a thin coat of silver paint, it will still blink orange or you can buy
different bulbs.

weird, don't see that many people doing the cc mod anymore
