Just follow the directions, and use the tips they give. It is a little freaky drilling those holes, but take your time and it will be no problem. You'll be very happy when done.

RE: Roof Marker lamps installation

Okay so should my drill be set at low or high speed when i begin to drill?

And what if i tape down the actuall lamp assembly and drill my holes through the holes that way instead of drilling over a marked paper.

say 3mm then expand to 6mm and then expant to 9mm??

What you guys think

What you guys think

I would (and did) use the template. I used a punch to mark the hole position, then used 3 drill bits as you suggested to expand the hole size. Slower speed generally works best. There is some room for error in hole position, but just be careful.
