I took mine off the car and drilled the hole with a hole saw in my drill. I didn't have any problems except finding a hole saw the right size. I didn't use the chrome ring that comes with them. Instead I epoxied them directly in the hole. So it need to be tight

 

A standard drill bit will break chunks out of the tail lens. I've used special plastic drills successfully, they have a very different cutting tip ground into them. I would recommend going to a junkyard, getting a scrap tail lens or two and experimenting with them, whatever you use to cut the holes. There's a learning curve here and it wouldn't do to mess-up a good tail lens.

 

Any pictures? ?:|

 

We used a soldering iron to melt into the light originally, then used a dremel to widen to the propper size. Worked great...smelled digusting ( the burning part). My husband & I both tossed the old cookies. Do it outside & hold your breath!!

 

Not sure if I'm brave enough to try that yet but good for you. 8*
Thanks for the picture. They look great! Do they show up good at night? I think I remember someone saying that the tail lights really weren't bright enough to get the full effect.

 

The best and safest way to drill the hole for the "blue dots" is to use a Dremmel.

Once the hole is established all you have to do is use a sanding cylinder to get the hole to the exact size. This way you get a nice tight fit. Then just put a small bead of silicone sealer on the inside of the chrome ring to make sure no water gets inside.

A great looking (and inexpensive ....for a change) add-on. |)

 

Like Rachel, I started with a small hole and then worked up to the finished size with a dremel with a sanding drum attachment. I put masking tape on lens and drew a circle as guide and it worked pretty well.

They look great! Thanks for sharing. Maybe I'll have to try this after all. Where did you get the blue dots? I think I've seen them on Ebay for $6.99 but they were advertised for a Harley.
