well, the socket is right above the low beam socket, right below the core support. it's pretty tight, but look for a wiring harness that leads to teh socket for the city light.

Will the police give you any flack in Kentucky for something like this? I know in WA doing anything like that would make the cops pull you over just because it isnt oem. Looks really cool btw.

nah, the only good things about living here is that there is no emissions testing, and cops pretty much let us do what we want to our cars as long as we're not out driving like idiots.
besides, with the headlights on, you don't even see the purple. i only run those at dusk and dawn until the sun goes down or up, or when parked.
