Question:

Can i drill out the spot in the very center and reroute the wiring out there? Is the room inside for the wire to be routed that way?

There is room inside the Optronics LED # MCL44RB to reroute the wires but not through the center divot like you're thinking. The circuit board with the diodes is right there and it's glued to the inside of the back housing. The hole you drill has to be outside of the box I've drawn on the back of the light. That box is basically where the circuit board is.

With that being said, I don't remember drilling and moving the wires at all. The housing isn't designed to be modified and therefore any warranty would be voided from drilling into it. Also, with the ring terminal on the ground wire you'll need to do additional modifications just to get the wires from where they are through another hole.
