you might be able to use a drill bit saw. a dremel would make life easy tho.

just get something thats round and flexable thats the same size as the hole you want, put it on the light, trace it with a sharpie and then cut it with a dremel.

Right. Find something you can use for a template (for example, maybe the inner area of a roll of duct tape...might be too small but you get the idea), trace it, and use a dremel for all of the cutting. If you take your time it should come out perfect.
