Default 68 Back-Up Lights

My 68 convertible has a later rear valance with the rectangular exhaust cut outs in it with no back-up lights. I have all the necessary parts for the lights. After owning six C3s I've done plenty of fiberglass work. I am just curious if anyone has cut them in where there wasn't any and if there are any tricks that I might not be aware of before I start cutting ? And yes I know, WHY BOTHER !!!!

68 rear valances are still available. The 68 valances have a back-up fiberglass mounting frame built into the reverse side that you won't be able to duplicate by just cutting holes.
