Cut the lenses using a Very New and sharp Junior Hack Saw, I chose this option after trying to do it with a Dremmel (that was far too messy and left gaps which needed multiple attempts with expanding glue.

Cover with Masking tape (lense protection on the offchance)
Mark backing and lense (I made simple scratches - that no one would see)
cut
do your bits inside
glue em back up
I also siliconed mine too
jobs a good un

A wee tip when cutting plastic lenses, you should heat them up with a hair dryer. This helps them from cracking.


I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time
