I haven't had to change plastic lens yet. Anyway, from
other experience, if you are going to drill holes in plastic don't use a
regular twist drill. The cutting angle of a drill for plastic should be
vertical such that it actually scapes the plastic away. They sell em, or
you
can modifiy an old drill bit. I would definitely use one if you are
drilling in a rare or high dollar item. Going slow doesn't hurt either.

Item Subject: Amber Tail Lights
Hi Jay:
The bigger question is, WHY CHANGE TO EXTERNAL SCREWS? The
internal
screws give a cleaner look. How often are you going to have to
replace a bulb? Is it really that hard to remove the tail light
assembly? Not on mine. I've got some amber lenses in my parts box
somewhere, and when they go on, I'll convert to internal screws.
If you insist on converting, drill with caution. One friend
cracked
one by applying too much force.
