Another trick that I used to make the pod light holes - I mounted a piece of thin walled tubing on a heavy duty soldering iron - and melted the pod light hole thru the back of the housing. No shavings - no mess. Just get it back out quick to keep the smoke out of the housing. Also - make sure not to go too far thru and touch the lense. I used a exacto knife to trim the outside ridge of plastic - the inside was fine. It worked like a charm for me. Normal disclaimers apply. Will work on pictures later.
