Here is an easy and safe way to drill out a plastic reflector with a hand drill. Start with the smallest drill that still removes a little bit of material. Set the drill to run in REVERSE. This way you can hold the reflector in your finger tips while you are drilling because the sharp edges of the drill won't catch the plastic and rip it out of your fingers. When the drill is all the way through, reset the drill to FORWARD and wiggle the reflector to remove a little more material. Then go to the next largest size drill in your drill set (mine has 1/64 increments), reset the drill to REVERSE and repeat. You may have to do this in 4 or 5 steps, but it still goes pretty fast. The REVERSE drilling may generate a burr. Just wiggle the drill a little in FORWARD and this should get rid of of the burr. This takes a little longer than a single drill step, but you can do it with a hand drill, and you don't need any clamp to hold the reflector. Hope this helps.
